Self funding(paying us directly)
We are able to provide a multidisciplinary team of highly experienced CAMHS-focused professionals who can integrate psychological & pharmacological treatments and are used to holding high levels of complexity and risk. Unfortunately, medical doctors working outside of the NHS have extremely high running costs due to their professional regulation & governance (including revalidation, extensive indemnity & Care Quality Commission inspections).

​
Assessments for ADHD and autism
These are decided upon following an initial assessment. They are charged differently to the above. An ADHD assessment is likely to take around a minimum of 3 hours of our time, so likely to cost around £1000. An autism diagnostic assessment is a very detailed process and costs around £2500. We don't have fixed costs for this at the moment but can give you an amount after the initial meeting.
​
Specialist sleep assessments
These are done by Caroline Wright and are charged at £200 per follow up appointment.
​
Joint appointments, with more than one member of the team attending, are sometimes necessary based on our professional judgement. Where this happens we will charge 80% of the cost of each practitioner.
