Your 3 Phase Journey with The Neuro Medical Group

The Neuro Medical Group has created a pathway for the assessment and diagnosis of ADHD. There is no waiting list and we get started straight away.

ADHD is a ‘neurodevelopmental’ disorder which can affect a number of areas of brain function. With understanding, care and holistic treatment, people with ADHD can be successfully supported to improve their quality of life. Children and Adults with ADHD may experience difficulties with:

- Inattention – having difficulty concentrating, forgetting instructions, moving from one task to another without completing anything

- Impulsivity – such as talking over the top of others, having a ‘short fuse’, being accident prone

- Overactivity – constant restlessness and fidgeting

- Emotional regulation– when struggling with emotions

- Social navigation– when finding it difficult to build relationships

- Sleep- poor sleep pattern. All young children have a limited attention span and sometimes do things without thinking, but only a few of these children have ADHD.

With the rising cases of ADHD, getting an ADHD assessment is becoming more critical because of the misunderstandings that revolve around the condition. Almost everyone has some symptoms that are similar to ADHD at some point in their lives. However, it’s not always ADHD.

For you to have ADHD, the symptoms have to be severe enough to cause ongoing problems in more than one area of your life. As you grow older, diagnosing ADHD becomes more difficult because some of the symptoms are similar to those caused by other conditions, such as anxiety or depression. This makes getting an ADHD assessment as soon as possible vital for an accurate diagnosis.

Your 3 Phase Journey with The Neuro Medical Group

Phase 1: Medical History and Screening (£300)

We gather family, medical and neurodevelopmental history through our standardised questionnaires during the screening process.

Then we meet you for a feedback session for around 60 mins (face to face or online) where we gather additional information and go through the findings of the questionnaires and decide next steps.

If the decision is to continue with the ADHD pathway, we continue with the next phase in the pathway…

Phase 2: Diva Assessment (£1200)

You will meet a Consultant for the Diva Assessment which lasts around 90 -120 mins. This focuses on the type of ADHD existent and behaviour now in relation to childhood. The details are passed onto the specialist for your diagnosis appointment. This appointment is face to face or online.

Phase 3: Diagnosis, report and Treatment Pathway

You will meet the Psychiatrist or a Consultant Clinical Psychologist for a 60 minute appointment who will assess whether you meet the criteria for an ADHD diagnosis, and may ask you further questions. Treatment plans can then be discussed at an additional cost. A comprehensive report will follow with next steps and recommendations.

What Is ADHD and What Are the Common Symptoms?

ADHD is a condition that affects how the brain manages attention, motivation, planning, and self-control. It is not a behavioural flaw or a result of poor discipline, as many people believe. Instead, it involves differences in brain function that influence how information is processed and actions are regulated.

Symptoms of ADHD vary widely between individuals. Some people struggle primarily with attention, finding it difficult to stay focused, follow through on tasks, or manage time effectively. Others experience heightened levels of restlessness, impulsive decision-making, or difficulty regulating emotions. Many individuals display a mixture of these patterns.

Because symptoms can change with age and life circumstances, ADHD is often overlooked, particularly in adults who have developed coping mechanisms that mask underlying challenges.

How Is ADHD Diagnosed?

ADHD cannot be diagnosed through a single test or scan. Diagnosis requires a detailed clinical assessment that examines behavioural patterns, developmental history, and current functioning across different areas of life.

Clinicians assess whether symptoms meet recognised diagnostic criteria, including onset during childhood, persistence over time, and impact on daily activities such as education, work, or relationships. Standardised questionnaires, clinical interviews, and supporting information are used to build an accurate and balanced picture.

A thorough diagnostic process is essential, as ADHD shares overlapping features with other conditions such as anxiety, depression, or learning differences. Proper assessment ensures that individuals receive the correct diagnosis and appropriate recommendations.

What Is a Private ADHD Assessment?

A private ADHD assessment is a comprehensive evaluation conducted by qualified specialists outside NHS pathways. It offers you the opportunity to receive a timely, in-depth assessment without long wait times.

Private assessments are designed to explore symptoms in detail, considering how they have evolved and how they currently affect everyday life. The process allows for longer consultation times, enabling clinicians to gain a deeper understanding of each patient’s experiences.

Following the assessment, individuals receive clear feedback, diagnostic conclusions, and personalised guidance on next steps, which may include treatment options, coping strategies, or further referrals.

Differences Between Private and NHS ADHD Assessment

One of the most significant differences between private and NHS ADHD assessments is waiting time. NHS services are often subject to high demand, resulting in long delays before assessment can take place.

Private ADHD assessments offer faster access, allowing individuals to receive answers and support sooner. This can be particularly important for those experiencing academic difficulties, workplace challenges, or mental health concerns related to undiagnosed ADHD.

Private services also typically provide more flexible appointment scheduling, longer assessment sessions, and detailed written reports. These features allow for a more personalised experience and clearer communication throughout the diagnostic process.

Why You Should Get Your Assessment from The Neuro Medical Group

Choosing the right provider for an ADHD assessment is essential for accurate diagnosis and meaningful support. At The Neuro Medical Group, assessments are conducted by experienced clinicians with specialist knowledge in neurodevelopmental conditions.

Our approach is patient-focused and evidence-based. We take time to understand each individual’s background, challenges, and goals rather than relying on surface-level observations. Every assessment is conducted with professionalism, sensitivity, and respect for the patient’s experience.

We also place strong emphasis on clarity. Patients leave their assessment with a clear understanding of the findings, what they mean, and the options available moving forward.

How Our Private ADHD Assessment Works

The private ADHD assessment process at The Neuro Medical Group begins with an initial consultation. During this stage, a clinician gathers detailed information about symptoms, early development, education, work history, and daily functioning.

Standardised diagnostic tools are used alongside clinical interviews to ensure a robust and accurate assessment. Where relevant, additional background information may be requested to support diagnostic conclusions.

Once the assessment is complete, findings are carefully reviewed and explained in a follow-up discussion. Patients receive a comprehensive written report outlining the assessment outcome and personalised recommendations tailored to their needs.

The Value of Early and Accurate Assessment

Receiving an ADHD diagnosis can bring relief and understanding, particularly for individuals who have struggled with unexplained difficulties for many years. Early and accurate assessment helps reduce the risk of secondary challenges such as low self-esteem, academic underachievement, or workplace stress.

A diagnosis also provides a framework for accessing appropriate support, whether through medical treatment, psychological strategies, or practical daily-life adjustments. Without assessment, individuals may continue to face avoidable challenges without targeted guidance.

Who Should Consider a Private ADHD Assessment in Bedford?

A private ADHD assessment may be suitable for children, adolescents, and adults who experience persistent difficulties with attention, organisation, impulsivity, or emotional regulation. It is also valuable for individuals who feel their symptoms have been misunderstood or previously misattributed to other causes.

Adults who suspect ADHD later in life often seek assessment to gain clarity and develop more effective coping strategies. Parents may pursue assessment for children who struggle academically or behaviourally despite appropriate support.

My 13 yr old daughter has been coming to see Nuha for 3 months now, to help with anxiety and other issues that have affected her school attendance and sleep. From day one Nuha has been nothing but kind, helpful and extremely knowledgeable, she said that she would definitely be able to help my daughter, and she wasnt wrong! Started with weekly sessions that have now dropped to every 2 weeks, my daughter is doing amazingly well, her mental health has improved so much, and shes back in school full time. My daughter loves her and really looks forward to her sessions. A massive thank you and I hugely recommend Nuha.

I’ve tried counselling before but never made much progress until MSW. Working with Tom the last few months I’ve seen massive progress working through issues both past and present. Tom does a great job helping me to challenge and understand my thoughts & behaviours then put measures in place to improve the things I’d like to manage differently. Would highly recommend.

Ms. Sophia is an exceptionally kind and empathetic person who truly cares about her patients. She listens attentively and creates a safe atmosphere that makes it easy to open up. Thanks to therapy with her, I was able to organize my thoughts and gain a new perspective on many things. I can wholeheartedly say that Ms. Sophia is a therapist truly worth recommending.

Sophia has been absolutely amazing in supporting my young person. From the very start, she created a safe, understanding, and encouraging space which has really helped them to open up and make such wonderful progress.

Sophia is patient, professional, and genuinely cares, and it’s been clear throughout that she is fully committed to helping them grow and move forward.

I’m so grateful for the guidance and support Sophia has provided—it’s made such a difference. I would highly recommend My Solution Wellbeing Counselling to anyone looking for the right support.

Working with Jackie has been an incredibly supportiveexperience. She helped me feel safe enough to explore my attachment patterns and guided me through understanding where some of my struggles came from. Her compassion and insight gave me the space to reflect without judgement, and I’ve started to appreciate myself in ways I never thought possible. I feel more connected, more confident, and more accepting of who I am. I’m so grateful for the steady support, warmth, and encouragement she has shown me on this journey.

My solution has been truly incredible in the way they have helped and cared for me since coming into the service . My counsellor Cara has been amazing , making a safe space for me to open up and talk about the issues I've been facing. Her lovely warm aura , her reassuring smile and her depth and wealth of knowledge is truly second to none and I am so glad I made the decision to come back into counselling as it means I get to benefit from her brilliance !

ive been attending counselling here for nearly a year now and I honestly can't express how grateful I am for the experience. when i first began, i was in a very low place, struggling with self esteem and family issues and just feeling completely off track in my life. working with Sally, my counsellor, has been life changing. she has always been warm, welcoming, and incredibly validating. from the beginning, i felt safe and understood, which made it so much easier for me to open up and work through what I was going through. knowing that I was speaking to a professional who genuinely listened and offered thoughtful guidance made a huge difference. now i feel so much more like myself again. my mood, my confidence, and my general outlook have all improved significantly. ive even reached the point where i feel i don’t need to attend sessions as often, simply because I’m doing so much better. if you're considering counselling, I can't recommend this place, and Sally in particular, enough. it has truly helped me get back on track.

Louise Irene

Sharon is fantastic and really helped me through a significant life change. She asked very pertinent questions which made me reconsider things in ways which my family and friends could not. It was great to have an outsider and a professionals perspective on everything. After a few months of therapy with Sharon I feel like myself again and am ready to be the best version of me. Sharon is incredibly warm and was easy to talk to from the first session. Thank you so much!

Have been booking in sessions for my partner with Nindie and she has been very helpful. Will continue to book sessions with her as happy with the service so far

I worked with Santosh after feeling overwhelmed with balancing a difficult work situation, family life and self doubt. I felt the issues were very isolated to the last couple of years and was sceptical of starting the timeline process- going right back to my first memories but it did definitely help and it was definitely the right process. I am quite a self aware person but talking it through in detail and having someone understand the situations and help put things in order was definitely useful. During the course I really felt things becoming much easier in day to day life and since finishing I feel that balance I was after has returned. I've come away with mechanisms to ensure situations don't happen again and if they do, better ways to deal with them. I didn't really think I needed the therapy but I'm so glad I did it and would recommend people get in touch if they even begin to feel it might be useful, it's well worth it.

I’ve never been one to open up to people, but my weekly sessions with Sophia have changed that. For the first time, I’ve been able to express my feelings honestly and feel truly heard. She has helped me reignite dreams I thought I had buried long ago.

For so long, I was convinced I wasn’t strong enough or good enough — but Sophia has opened my eyes. Her insight, empathy, and wisdom have given me the confidence to believe in my own potential again.

Working with her has been nothing short of transformative. My sessions with Sophia are one of the greatest things I’ve ever done for myself, and I will always be grateful.

Grace has been a wonderful support to me since I started my sessions with her in April.
I feel like I have known her for years and have found my sessions incredibly helpful.

Joanne Angrave

Our 13 year old son has been seeing Sophia for a few months now after his previous counsellor left MSW. At first he struggled with the change but now realises that he does benefit from his sessions and can be open and honest with her. She is happy to listen to any concerns we have and is always professional, kind and supportive.

Sharon and my solution wellbeing were absolutely great. I managed to make an appointment and was seen very quickly, and Sharon really made me comfortable and at ease during every session. She was incredibly understanding and helpful when I came to her when my worries. Highly recommend both Sharon and my solution wellbeing as a whole:)

Grace is amazing! I came in with horrible stress and anxiety and everything is now more manageable thanks to Grace's support. I leave every session with a better outlook and understanding of my own mental state.
She has helped me get control over my life, I couldn't recommend her or my solutions wellbeing enough. They're incredible!

I had several sessions with Lynsey and found them to be very helpful in working through my trauma related issues. She was very easy to talk with and had some very useful steps for me to work through to better understand the issues. I felt as though a weight had been lifted after years of carrying emotional burden. I'd highly recommend booking with Lynsey as her approach just makes things seem much clearer and easier to manage. She's kind, caring and professional and you'll be instantly put at ease during what can be quite a daunting process but she helped me get there. Thank you Lynsey ❤️

JO CARVELL

I had the pleasure of working with Sharon for 5 sessions. It was my first experience with counselling, and I felt quite nervous at first.
Sharon's gentle approach to assessment and caring nature quickly put me at ease, and I began to look forward to our sessions. The entire experience was enlightening, and I would gladly return to Sharon for more sessions if I ever needed to explore new issues.
I can't recommend her highly enough; she truly understood me and helped me reflect on aspects of myself that I had previously overlooked. She provided me with thought-provoking strategies to tackle the dilemmas I was facing, and I'm pleased to say that, with the support that Sharon gave me, I'm progressing very well with the decisions that I made. Although my time with Sharon was brief, I'm very thankful for it.

I can’t recommend Jag enough. From the very first session, she made me feel completely at ease. I used to worry about what I’d talk about in therapy, but with Jag, the conversations flowed so naturally. She has a calming presence and a way of gently guiding the discussion that made it easy for me to open up and talk through things I’d been holding in for years.

Thanks to her support, I’ve gained so much clarity and feel lighter, more grounded, and more in control of my emotions. She helped me understand myself better and gave me the tools to move forward with more confidence.

If you’re thinking about starting therapy, Jag is an incredible therapist—warm, intuitive, and truly supportive. I’m so grateful I found her

Charlotte Selby

For anyone who is able to work with sharon, know that you are incredibly patient, kind, and caring hands.

I had the honour of working with her for a year on a patient/therapist basis and I could not have asked for better support.

I work well with visuals to explain situations I'm experiencing and she had no trouble at working with and expanding visuals as I worked through things with her.

I'm actually really sad to move on (even though that is obviously a good thing!)

She's absolutely brilliant and deserves every bit of praise that can be given to her!

Georgina Squire

15:07 28 May 25

Myself and my partner found Lynsey to be very approachable and easy to talk to. She helped us to feel comfortable having difficult conversations and offered support in helping with mental health. Unfortunately we couldn't continue sessions due to work and busy life schedules but I would highly recommend Lynsey for counselling if anyone was looking.

What a wonderful service provided by Jag at My Solution Wellbeing (Leicester)! If it wasn't for her I would still be struggling with my mental health. In just a few sessions she helped to unravel my thoughts, provided a safe and nurturing environment for me to open up and gave me solutions to take forward. She's also incredibly warm, extremely knowledgeable and an excellent listener which are crucial qualities in an effective counsellor. If you're ever considering getting counselling, please try this service! You won't be disappointed.
