ADHD Assessment for Wellingborough and surrounding patients, conducted in person at our Bedford clinic (30 min via A509) or online. NICE NG87-aligned, led personally by Tina Fox. £675, fixed fee payment plans available. Typically 6–8 weeks from first call, next available soon.
Hello, I'm Tina. I'm the lead clinician at NeuroFX. At our CQC-registered clinic, we offer specialist autism and ADHD assessments for children aged six and over and adults.
So after booking an assessment with us online or in person, you'll then be invited to take part in the onboarding process, and that is for you to be able to tell your story. It will include physical and mental health history, and then after that, you'll be sent some additional screening tools, which can all be completed in digital format online. You can pause at any time, and you can do that in the comfort of your own home. This enables me to better understand your story and your individual needs before we meet.
Next is your ADHD assessment, which is either online or in the clinic, coming to talk to me face to face. The process does take about two to three hours. That'll give you a chance to hopefully feel relaxed in an environment where you can tell me about the impacts and difficulties and how these have affected you. This follows all NICE guidelines.
In some situations, I may be able to tell you the diagnosis on the same day that we meet. In other scenarios, I might have to perhaps gain some more evidence. You might need to talk to other people, employers, family, partners, school, university, for me to be able to get a really good idea of the evidence, perhaps that you can't see yourself, and might help towards that diagnosis. You'll be provided a diagnostic report, provided I have all of that evidence, within 14 days.
So wherever you are on your journey, all the information is available on our website. You could book a call to talk to our team. You can book online. You can also simply email us if you have any questions. We do have payment plans available to pay in three or four instalments. So we look forward to meeting you and working with you on your journey.
Tina Fox is Clinical Lead at NeuroFX. Every ADHD assessment for Wellingborough patients is led by her personally. A short video introduction to who we are, why we do this, and what to expect.
Take a couple of minutes with it. The point of the video is to make the room feel less unfamiliar before you even book a conversation.

Specialist Neurodevelopmental Practitioner & Independent Prescriber (NISP)
Every NeuroFX ADHD assessment is conducted personally by Tina. 15 years of specialist mental health nursing experience and extensive neurodiversity specialist care, having conducted hundreds of ADHD and autism assessments. Tina is also an independent prescriber and an advanced specialist paediatric sleep practitioner. Assessments and prescribing follow NICE NG87 (ADHD diagnosis and management).
For Wellingborough patients in particular, having one clinician end-to-end means no diagnostic hand-offs and no inconsistency between assessment and prescriber. Same person, all the way through.
For most Wellingborough adults, the 30 minute journey to our Bedford clinic is worth it for the in-person experience. Online over secure video is fully available for adults who'd rather not travel; the diagnostic protocol is identical.
Bedford Consulting Rooms on Goldington Road is a calm, residential-style space, not a hospital. Pay and display car park immediately next door (1 minute walk). Central rail station 8 minutes walk.
If travel isn't realistic, adult assessments can be conducted entirely online via a secure GDPR-compliant video platform. The diagnostic protocol and the fee are identical. Not available for under-18s.
You are served clinically by Northamptonshire ICB. A private NeuroFX assessment is typically 6 to 8 weeks (next available soon).
Wellingborough sits in North Northamptonshire, where neurodevelopmental assessment for children is delivered by Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust through the county Children and Young People ADHD and ASD service, with referrals accepted only via the Referral Management Centre and not directly from parents. In North Northamptonshire that NHS service covers children of all school ages, a wider remit than neighbouring West Northamptonshire, but the average wait for a first appointment was 93 weeks as of April 2026. To ease pressure, NHS Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board funded more than 500 extra neurodevelopmental assessments for the county in 2025/26, delivered through the independent provider Healios.
Unlike parts of London and the East of England, Northamptonshire's ICB is unchanged: it is in a clustering arrangement with Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland but remains a separate legal entity, with any formal merger not expected before April 2027. Locally, families can draw on Wellingborough groups such as the FACT Northants coffee morning at Olympic Primary School, alongside Autism East Midlands. A NeuroFX private assessment is intended to sit alongside this NHS care rather than replace it, and any shared-care prescribing afterwards remains at the GP's sole discretion, so patients for whom shared care matters should speak to their GP before booking.
Adult ADHD services commissioned via this ICB. Right to Choose is available to some patients in this area.
Figures reflect the trust's own published service page at time of last review. Re-check before relying on it for any decision.
Two things every Wellingborough patient asks about. We've separated them clearly here so you can decide your route with full information, rather than discovering the catch after you have booked.
Right to Choose is an NHS England policy letting eligible patients choose any NHS-contracted provider for ADHD assessment, including some private providers funded by the NHS. It is not a NeuroFX service.
It exists, has helped people, and has been overwhelmed in turn: published waits at many RTC providers are now measured in years. The ADHD UK tracker is the single best place to compare current RTC provider waits.
Entering into a shared-care agreement after private titration is entirely at the individual GP's sole discretion, and is also affected by Northamptonshire ICB policy. We cannot guarantee any GP will take on prescribing responsibility following a private assessment or titration.
If shared care after titration is a priority for you, speak to your Wellingborough GP before booking to understand their position. We will provide a structured handover designed to make that conversation as easy as possible.
Wellingborough sits in the Nene Valley in the middle of Northamptonshire, a market town with a strong industrial heritage in footwear and leather goods that has transitioned into a broader manufacturing and distribution economy. The town has excellent rail connections via the Midland Main Line, making it an increasingly attractive option for families seeking value and accessibility.
The Church of All Hallows in the town centre is a remarkable Arts and Crafts building by John Ninian Comper, considered by some to be the finest twentieth-century church interior in England -- an almost-secret that rewards knowing. The Nene Valley Railway, running steam trains through the valley east of town, is a genuine local treasure.
