Harmony Minds is a private psychology practice offering specialist ASD and ADHD assessments, therapy, and post-diagnosis support — delivered with warmth, clarity, and care.
Our Mission
Too many people are waiting years for an autism or ADHD assessment on the NHS. At Harmony Minds, we believe that should not be the case. As a CQC-registered Right to Choose provider, we are committed to delivering gold-standard neurodevelopmental assessments to anyone who needs them — with or without the ability to pay privately.
You have the right to choose your provider.
If you are registered with an NHS GP in England, you can ask to be referred to Harmony Minds for a free ASD or ADHD assessment — bypassing your local NHS waiting list, which can be years long.
NHS waiting lists for autism and ADHD assessments can stretch to several years. Right to Choose lets you come to us instead — often within weeks.
Right to Choose assessments are fully funded by the NHS. There is no cost to you whatsoever — the same high-quality service, at no charge.
Whether you come to us privately or via Right to Choose, you receive identical assessments using ADOS-2, ADI-R, and the same specialist clinical team.
We are registered with the Care Quality Commission, meeting the same regulatory standards as NHS specialist services — quality you can trust.
NHS Right to Choose
As an approved Right to Choose provider, you can access our ASD and ADHD assessments through the NHS — at no cost to you.
Download a screening questionnaire and complete it before your GP appointment. This helps you describe your concerns clearly and supports the referral process.
Share your concerns with your GP and take your completed questionnaire with you. Ask to be referred to Harmony Minds — you have the legal right to choose your assessment provider.
Your GP sends the referral directly to us. No ICB pre-approval is needed. If your GP is unsure, our GP letter template explains the Right to Choose process clearly.
We will be in touch within 5 working days of receiving your referral to confirm your place and gather some background information ahead of your assessment.
Your assessment is carried out by our specialist clinicians using gold-standard tools, structured interview, and standardised questionnaires — thorough, compassionate, and at no cost to you.
You receive a detailed written report. We will walk you through the findings and discuss what support, adjustments, or onward referrals may be right for you.
Common Questions
Our Team
Our multidisciplinary team brings together three distinct areas of expertise — combining medical, psychological, and specialist neurodevelopmental knowledge to deliver assessments of the highest clinical quality.
Our clinical psychologists lead our neurodevelopmental assessments for children and adults. They bring a person-centred, evidence-based approach to every assessment.
Our consultant psychiatrists bring medical diagnostic expertise and are responsible for clinical oversight of all our assessments, with specialist experience in adult and child neurodevelopmental conditions and co-occurring mental health presentations.
Our neurodevelopmental practitioners come from a range of professional backgrounds, including registered mental health nurses, speech and language therapists, and social workers. They play a central role in conducting structured observations, administering standardised assessments, and providing post-diagnosis support.

Assessment
Compassionate, comprehensive assessments for children and adults — helping you understand yourself and access the right support.
An autism assessment is a thorough clinical evaluation carried out by trained and experienced clinicians. It explores social communication, sensory processing, behavioural patterns, and development history. There is no single test for autism — we use a combination of structured clinical interviews, direct observation, and standardised tools to build a full picture.
At Harmony Minds, we use gold-standard instruments including the ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule) and the ADI-R (Autism Diagnostic Interview – Revised).
Screening Tools
The tools below are validated screening questionnaires — not diagnostic instruments. A positive screen does not mean you have autism, and a negative screen does not rule it out. They can be a useful starting point for reflection and to support a conversation with your GP.

Assessment
Clear, thorough ADHD evaluations for children and adults — helping you understand your attention profile and access meaningful support.
An ADHD assessment evaluates attention span, impulse control, hyperactivity, and executive functioning. ADHD can present very differently from person to person — particularly in women, girls, and adults — so our assessment gathers information from multiple sources and looks beyond surface-level behaviour.
We use internationally recognised rating scales such as the Conners' Rating Scales, the DIVA-5 (for adults), structured clinical interview, and developmental history.
ADHD is a condition for which medication can make a significant positive difference for many people. Following your assessment, our consultant psychiatrist is able to initiate medication where this is clinically appropriate and something you wish to explore.
We also offer shared care arrangements with your NHS GP. Once your medication has been established and reviewed, your GP can continue ongoing prescribing under a shared care agreement. This keeps your regular doctor fully informed and involved, while ensuring you have specialist support at the start of your treatment.
Please note: medication is one option, not an automatic outcome of diagnosis. It is always discussed in the context of your individual circumstances, preferences, and clinical needs. Psychological and behavioural strategies are always explored alongside or instead of medication, and the decision remains entirely yours.
Screening Tools
The tools below are validated screening questionnaires — not diagnostic instruments. A positive screen does not mean you have ADHD, and a negative screen does not rule it out. They can be a helpful starting point for reflection and to support a conversation with your GP.

Our adult therapy service offers confidential, one-to-one psychological support for adults facing a wide range of mental health or life challenges.
We offer CBT, ACT, psychodynamic therapy, EMDR, and integrative approaches tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Couples therapy at Harmony Minds provides a safe, facilitated space for partners to explore difficulties, improve communication, and deepen their connection.
Our therapists are trained in Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and systemic approaches — tailored to your relationship and what you want to work towards together.
Family therapy takes a systemic approach, exploring how patterns, roles, and communication styles within the family affect each member's wellbeing.
Sessions may involve the whole family or selected members, depending on what is most helpful at any given stage of the work.
Living with a chronic illness, pain condition, or significant physical health challenge affects every part of life — including mental health, relationships, and identity. Our therapists specialise in this intersection.
We use ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT, and compassion-focused approaches to help you live as fully as possible alongside your condition.
EMDR works on the understanding that traumatic or distressing memories can become "stuck" in the brain in a way that keeps them feeling raw and present, even years after the event. During EMDR, you focus on a troubling memory or feeling while simultaneously following a series of side-to-side eye movements (or other forms of bilateral stimulation such as taps or sounds). This process appears to help the brain reprocess the memory so it loses its emotional charge — much like what naturally happens during REM sleep.
Unlike some talking therapies, EMDR does not require you to describe your experiences in detail or spend long periods reliving them. Many people find this makes it more accessible, particularly for trauma that feels difficult to talk about.
Yes. Our EMDR sessions are primarily delivered online via a secure video platform. Research supports the effectiveness of online EMDR, and many clients find it more accessible. Face-to-face sessions can be arranged at our London location in some circumstances.
Support
Receiving a diagnosis is just the beginning. Our post-diagnosis support helps you make sense of your results and build a fulfilling life with new understanding.
Whether you've recently received an autism or ADHD diagnosis — with us or elsewhere — our post-diagnosis support sessions provide a dedicated space to process your feelings, understand your profile, and plan meaningful next steps.
We explore your report together, answer your questions, and help you make sense of what the diagnosis means for your daily life, relationships, and sense of self.
Evidence-based support for the challenges that come with your diagnosis — including executive functioning, emotional regulation, sensory processing, and workplace or education adjustments.
Where appropriate, our consultant psychiatrists can initiate medication and arrange shared care with your GP — these services are available at an additional cost. We also provide letters for employers, universities, and benefit applications, which are also available at an additional cost.
We can offer group sessions where you can meet and connect with others who share similar experiences — a valuable space for peer support, shared understanding, and reducing isolation. We also work with co-occurring mental health difficulties that can often accompany a diagnosis, such as anxiety, low mood, and low self-esteem, helping you to understand and manage these alongside your neurodevelopmental profile.
