Oxford CBT is a CQC-registered provider offering NHS-funded ADHD and autism assessments through the NHS Right to Choose pathway, alongside private assessment services.

Our multidisciplinary neurodevelopmental team includes HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologists, Consultant Psychiatrists, Paediatricians, BABCP-accredited clinicians and other experienced specialists with expertise in ADHD and autism assessment.

All our clinicians are accredited and specifically trained to support people experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including stress, anxiety disorders such as panic disorder, OCD, social anxiety, sleep difficulties, eating disorders and depression, alongside neurodevelopmental conditions.

We provide evidence-based ADHD and autism assessments for children, young people and adults, following current NHS and NICE guidance. Assessments combine clinical interviews, developmental history, recognised assessment tools and multidisciplinary clinical expertise to provide clear diagnostic conclusions, detailed reports and practical recommendations.

Through the NHS Right to Choose pathway, eligible patients across England may be able to access an NHS-funded ADHD or autism assessment following referral from their GP.

Support beyond assessment

For many people, an assessment is the beginning rather than the end of their journey. Understanding a diagnosis is often the first step towards accessing the right support.

Where appropriate, Oxford CBT can provide ongoing support following assessment, including:

→ Psychological therapy

→ ADHD coaching

→ Autism support

→ Medication referral pathways

→ Parent guidance

→ Follow-up support and recommendations

Our aim is to help individuals and families move forward with greater understanding, confidence and practical support, providing continuity beyond the assessment process.
