Online ADHD Assessment and Medication Management for Children, Adolescents and Teenagers
Online ADHD Assessment - Children - Young People
If your child finds it hard to concentrate, sit still, follow instructions or manage big feelings, you may be wondering whether ADHD could be part of the picture. A careful assessment can bring clarity — for you, your child and their school — and help everyone understand how best to support them.
Our online ADHD assessments for children and young people are carried out by Ryan Williams, an Advanced Mental Health Nurse and Independent Nurse Prescriber experienced in assessing children, young people and adults.
We pride ourselves to maintain the highest level of privacy and all our experts adhere to the regulatory bodies ethical and professional guidelines (BABCP, HCPC, BACP, etc).
Therapists are all registered with the ICO, and our booking system is GDPR compliment.
We pride ourselves on offering rapid access to care.
Because our service is fully online, we bypass the typical infrastructure delays of physical clinics.
However, our assessment is very in depth and there are few forms that need to be filled in prior your appointment.
This depends on the age of your child.
With young children, parents have an active collaborative role and they are often seen with their child and alone.
When working with older children, you will also be included as parent or carer.
You will likely be involved in the assessment phase, and for younger children parents are met forehand alone to get a picture of difficulties.
Therapy can last from 4 to 6 sessions for some people, and usually can take 8 to 14 sessions to work on specific areas. Sometimes, in complex cases session may be 20 to 30.
We are all individuals so best option would be to speak to one of our Mental Health Specialists, and after an assessment a bespoke personalised plan will be agreed.
However, in therapy, as in life, things do change.
No.
Our online clinic is designed to provide high-quality psychotherapy to children and adolescents across the UK and across the World.
As long as you have a stable internet connection, you can access our neuro-affirming therapy and specialised treatments from any location, eliminating the need for travel time and providing a comfortable, consistent environment for your child.
Signs of ADHD in children and teenagers
- Difficulty paying attention or being easily distracted
- Struggling to sit still, fidgeting or always "on the go"
- Acting or speaking without thinking, interrupting
- Forgetfulness, losing things, not finishing tasks
- Difficulty following instructions or organising schoolwork
- Strong emotions and frustration that are hard to manage
- Teachers raising concerns about focus or behaviour
Many children show some of these at times. An assessment looks at how long they have been present, whether they happen in more than one setting (such as home and school), and how much they affect everyday life.

How the assessment works

Free pre-assessment questionnaire
Parents complete a short online form, which Ryan personally reviews to advise on the best next step.

Book the assessment
Once you’re ready, book online.

Information from home and school
Parents and teachers complete questionnaires so we understand your child in different settings.

Online appointments
A video assessment with you and your child, at a pace that suits them.

Report and feedback
A written report with the outcome and recommendations for home and school, and a feedback discussion with parents.

After your assessment
Whatever the outcome, the report helps you understand your child’s strengths and needs. It can be shared with school to support reasonable adjustments, and with your GP. Treatment options can be discussed where appropriate.
Our team also supports families in other ways — including online therapy for children and teenagers, and neuro-affirming parenting sessions to help you support your child at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
ADHD is usually assessed from school age, when difficulties at home and school can be compared.
Yes — your child takes part in an age-appropriate way. Younger children often spend part of the time with a parent present.
Information from school is an important part of the assessment, as ADHD signs need to be present in more than one setting. We will ask a teacher to complete a questionnaire.

Yes, you can ask your GP or school about an NHS referral. In England you may also be able to use “Right to Choose” for an NHS-funded provider. Waiting times vary, which is why some families choose a private assessment.
Most schools find a clear report helpful for planning support. The report includes practical recommendations you can share with them.
The report will still explain what may be behind your child’s difficulties — for example anxiety, sensory needs or learning differences — and suggest next steps.
ADHD assessments are currently available to families living in the UK only. Our therapy for children and young people is available more widely.
