At Provide Wellbeing, we believe that clarity shouldn’t have to wait. Our self-pay assessments offer a direct route to understanding.
These services are available via:
Self-pay
Our self-pay assessments provide a fast, clinically robust route to diagnosis, delivered by specialist teams who put your wellbeing at the heart of the process.
Why choose self-pay?
Self-pay assessments may be suitable if:
- You want to access an assessment without waiting for NHS pathways
- You are not currently eligible for an NHS-funded route (this may be due to your local area not having any live contracts)
- You prefer to arrange an assessment without the input of your GP
- You are seeking an assessment for a child or young person
Self-pay assessments are optional and entirely your choice.
What conditions we assess
Through our self-pay pathway, we offer assessments for:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
- Combined Autism and ADHD
Where appropriate, combined assessments can help provide a clearer understanding when traits of both conditions are present.
Who we assess
Children and young people (CYP)
We focus on more than just a diagnosis. We provide the insights you need to advocate for your child/young person in school and create a supportive environment at home.
- Autism, ADHD, and combined assessments available
- Information gathered from parents/carers, schools, and the child/young person (where appropriate)
- Assessments carried out by a clinical team experienced in working with children and young people
- Reports written to support understanding at home and in education settings
Adults
It is never too late to gain a deeper understanding of your own mind. We support you in making sense of your past and present experiences whilst providing supportive strategies that will help towards your future wellbeing.
- ADHD, Autism and combined assessments available
- Focus on how neurodevelopmental differences may affect work, relationships, daily life, and wellbeing
- Clear explanation of outcomes and next steps
What is included in a self pay assessment
While the exact process depends on the type of assessment, self-pay assessments typically include:
- Review of referral information and background history
- Standardised questionnaires and rating scales
- A comprehensive clinical assessment
- Diagnostic decision made in line with NICE guidance and recognised diagnostic criteria
- A written diagnostic report explaining:
- The assessment outcome
- How conclusions were reached
- Recommendations and next steps
We aim to write reports in clear, accessible language, explaining any clinical terms used.

Testimonials
Parent / Guardian of RO, Autism Assessment Customer
The practitioners on the day were clearly very experienced and cleverly managed to get my daughter away from me for the assessment, which I’d not expected. Getting the result so quickly on the day was great and the whole experience was nowhere near as stressful as I feared it would be.
Parent / Guardian of CA, Autism Assessment Customer
Really lovely friendly place with a calm environment for everyone.
Parent / Guardian of HB, Autism Assessment Customer
Very efficient service and really lovely staff members. Hannah made my daughter feel very comfortable.
Parent / Guardian of EA, Autism Assessment Customer
Fantastic service from start to finish! The support over the phone was excellent, and I was kept updated throughout the entire process. During the assessment, both my son and I were made to feel completely at ease. The consultation afterwards was kind, compassionate, and very professional.
