About us

Specialist assessment, grounded in care

Neurominds is a UK private clinic led by two HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologists. We provide thorough, evidence-based autism and ADHD assessments for adults, adolescents and children, delivered with warmth and respect.

Our approach

How we work

We believe an assessment should be more than a label. Our work is rooted in current diagnostic standards and validated tools, but we never lose sight of the person in front of us. We take the time to understand your history, your strengths and the challenges that brought you to us, so that any conclusion we reach is one you can trust and recognise as your own.

Every assessment is collaborative. We explain what we are doing and why, we welcome your questions, and we share our thinking openly throughout. Whether the outcome confirms a diagnosis or not, our aim is the same: to leave you with genuine clarity and practical, compassionate guidance on what comes next.

What we value

The principles behind every assessment

Thoroughness

We draw on multiple sources of information and validated measures, taking the time to get it right rather than rushing to a conclusion.

Compassion

We meet you with patience and respect, using person-first language and making the process feel as comfortable as it can be.

Clarity

We communicate our findings in plain language and give you clear, practical next steps, not jargon you have to decode alone.
