Private ADHD Assessment in Glasgow: Costs, Wait Times & How to Choose

Real prices from the 6 private ADHD clinics we've independently verified in Glasgow, what actually drives the cost, and how NHS assessment pathways work differently in Scotland.

Glasgow's private ADHD clinics that publish pricing are unusually consistent — the 3 of 6 with a published fee all sit within a tight £895–£995 band, without the wide spread you see in London or Edinburgh. Every one of the 6 clinics we list offers an online assessment, and 5 of the 6 offer a combined ADHD and autism pathway — one of the highest rates we've seen, alongside Edinburgh's.

What a private ADHD assessment costs in Glasgow

Among the 3 of 6 Glasgow clinics that publish a price, verified fees for an adult ADHD assessment run from £895 to £995 — a narrow band that makes budgeting more predictable than in most cities we cover. The other 3 clinics don't list a price online, so you'd need to contact them directly. As with any clinic, always check whether a quoted figure covers the full pathway (clinical interview, questionnaires, written report) or just an initial stage.

What actually drives the price

• ✓Who leads the assessment. A psychiatrist-led assessment can prescribe medication directly if recommended; a psychologist-led one usually can't, and would refer you on.
• ✓Combined ADHD + autism assessment. 5 of the 6 Glasgow clinics offer this — worth flagging early if it's relevant, since it typically costs more than a single-condition assessment.
• ✓What happens after diagnosis. Titration and ongoing prescribing are usually a separate, ongoing cost from the one-off assessment fee.

NHS assessment in Glasgow: how it differs from England

This is worth being explicit about: NHS Right to Choose, the scheme that lets patients in England pick an alternative NHS-commissioned provider, does not operate in Scotland. If you're referred for an NHS ADHD assessment in Glasgow, you're assessed through NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde's own adult ADHD pathway, and there isn't an equivalent legal right to select a different provider. Wait times for this route vary and are worth confirming directly with your GP, since they aren't something we can verify or quote reliably from outside the NHS system itself.
