UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPTIONS
Choosing a Suitable Referral Pathway
You can start with a self-referral, or ask your GP or another healthcare professional to refer you.
This section can help you choose the option that best fits your circumstances.
Self-referral
may suit you if:
- You are comfortable completing an online form yourself, or have someone who can support you to do so.
- You can provide information about your health, medication, GP details, and what you are seeking support with.
- You understand that we may require additional information or documentation before we can process your referral.
A GP referral
may suit you if:
- Your referrer has important clinical information they feel is important to share with anyone else involved in your care.
- Your care or history is complex and you or your GP feel we may need professional context before we can accurately review suitability.
- You'd feel more comfortable having a healthcare professional complete and send a referral instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Read our most common FAQs below, or visit the full FAQ page for more detailed information.
Is Fluence right for me?
We support adults seeking assessment or care for ADHD, autism, or both. If you’re not sure, our short eligibility check takes two minutes and tells you honestly whether we’re the right fit. If we’re not, we’ll point you to support that is.
You can complete our basic suitability checker by clicking here.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly with us. We’ll keep your GP informed throughout, with your permission, because joined-up care works better for everyone.
Who can you treat? Do you cover all of the UK?
Our assessments are delivered online across the UK. However, because we’re regulated by the CQC (which covers England) and because medication and shared-care arrangements work differently across the four nations, prescribing and ongoing care are most straightforward for patients registered with a GP in England.
If you live in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland, get in touch before booking and we’ll explain exactly what we can offer you.
What don’t you assess?
We focus on adult ADHD and autism. We don’t currently assess children (under 18), and we’re not a general mental health, crisis, or therapy service.
If you’re looking for something outside our scope, feel free to reach out to us anyway – we’ll point you toward the right kind of support rather than leave you to work it out alone.
Can you help if I’m in crisis right now?
We’re not an emergency or crisis service. If you’re struggling to keep yourself safe, please call NHS 111 (option 2 for mental health) or 999. Once you’re stable, we’re here when you’re ready.
Will I definitely get a diagnosis?
No clinic can promise that, and we wouldn’t want to. Our role is to assess carefully and tell you what we find – whether that’s ADHD, autism, both, something else, or no clear diagnosis. Either way, you’ll leave with clarity and recommendations.
How long does it take from enquiry to assessment?
Most patients are seen within 1–4 weeks of getting in touch. Some are faster; some take longer if we need extra information. We’ll always be clear about your timeline upfront.
How much does an assessment cost?
Adult ADHD assessment is £750, autism assessment is £875, and dual ADHD and autism assessment is £1,500. The price includes the full assessment, written report, and treatment recommendations. You can learn more about costs by clicking here.
