Autism Assessments
If you're an adult seeking clarity about whether you may be autistic, I offer a structured and supportive assessment process designed to help you understand yourself better.
Assessment Process
The autism assessment is delivered in two stages: an initial screening followed by a full diagnostic assessment, if recommended.
​
Initial Screening – £400
We begin with an extended appointment (approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours), supported by pre-session questionnaires. This stage helps determine whether a full diagnostic assessment is appropriate. If a full assessment isn’t recommended, I will offer alternative suggestions for therapy or further evaluation.
​
Full Diagnostic Assessment – £1500
If we decide to proceed, the full assessment includes:
-
Additional appointments with you
-
Input from someone who knows you well (ideally a parent or sibling, or someone familiar with your childhood)
-
Review of any relevant documents (e.g. school reports, previous assessments)
-
A multidisciplinary approach, including consultation with colleagues to ensure clinical rigour
-
A comprehensive written report with recommendations
The full assessment fee includes the cost of the initial screening.

My Qualifications & Approach
I am a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist with over ten years of experience in psychological therapy and assessment. I have completed specialist training in adult autism assessment, including formal training in the ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition) and the ADI-R (Autism Diagnostic Interview – Revised)—two of the most widely used and respected tools in autism diagnosis.
​
I work from a neurodiversity-affirming perspective, meaning I view autism as a valid and valuable identity rather than something to be “treated.” My aim is to make the assessment process respectful, collaborative, and as comfortable as possible.
​
I also consult with colleagues as part of a multidisciplinary process to ensure your assessment is thorough, balanced, and clinically robust.
