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.

What to check when contacting a clinic

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.

NHS Right to Choose

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.
