What we found researching the 3 private ADHD clinics we list in Kettering, including why none currently publish a fixed price, and how NHS Right to Choose works if you're covered by a Northamptonshire GP.
None of the 3 private ADHD clinics we list in Kettering publish a fixed assessment price online, so you'll need to contact each one directly for a quote. Unlike Norwich, all 3 Kettering clinics do offer an online assessment option — worth knowing if you'd rather avoid an in-person appointment.
Ask each clinic what their fee actually covers — the diagnostic interview and written report at minimum, and whether a feedback session or follow-up is included. Also check whether the clinician is a psychiatrist (who can prescribe directly if medication is recommended) or a psychologist/nurse (who typically can't). 2 of the 3 Kettering clinics we list offer a combined ADHD and autism assessment, if that's relevant to you.
Under NHS Right to Choose, you can ask your GP to refer you to an alternative NHS-commissioned provider instead of joining your local waiting list, at no cost to you. Availability depends on your NHS Integrated Care Board, so confirm current capacity with your GP — see our Right to Choose guide for the full mechanism and a GP letter template. Given the lack of published private pricing in Kettering, it's especially worth checking this route first.
All 3 clinics mentioned here are listed on our Kettering clinics page, along with whatever detail each one has published.
