Online appointments for private autism assessment

We provide flexible assessment options to ensure accessibility and comfort, including:

  • Secure online appointments
  • In-person appointments at our central London clinics
  • Home-based appointments in selected cases where appropriate

From the very beginning, we prioritise clear communication so you always understand what stage you are at and what comes next.

We understand that the assessment process can feel uncertain or overwhelming. For this reason, we aim to keep it structured, transparent and easy to follow, with most reports and feedback delivered within 7–10 working days after completion.

Why choose the Fitzrovia Psychology Clinic

At the Fitzrovia Psychology Clinic, we combine specialist clinical expertise with a genuinely supportive and neuroaffirmative approach.

Our team is made up of highly experienced Clinical Psychologists who provide evidence-based, compassionate and personalised assessments designed to help people better understand how they think, process and experience the world.
What sets our clinic apart is the balance between clinical depth and a human, relational approach. We do not treat assessment as a high-volume or transactional process. Instead, we prioritise thorough, high-quality assessments that give people clarity, understanding and practical next steps.

Our approach includes:

  • Fully individualised assessments from first contact to post-care
  • A neuroaffirmative model focused on strengths and understanding
  • Clear, consistent communication throughout the process
  • Structured, evidence-based diagnostic methods
  • Detailed clinical formulation, not a checklist diagnosis
  • Ongoing post-assessment guidance and support options

We treat each person as an individual, not a diagnosis, with the aim of creating clarity and direction.

You Deserve Clear Answers

Many adults come to us after years of uncertainty about how they relate to others, communicate, or experience the world.

Theraphy

You may recognise:

  • Social situations feeling effortful, confusing or draining
  • Difficulty interpreting tone, intention or social nuance
  • Sensory sensitivity to sound, light or physical environments
  • A strong preference for routine, structure or predictability
  • Deep focus on specific interests or topics
  • Ongoing challenges with organisation or planning
  • Patterns of masking, fatigue or burnout over time

These experiences are often lifelong, but may only become clearer when viewed through a neurodevelopmental lens.
Our aim is to help you understand these patterns in a structured and supportive way, so you can move forward with greater clarity.

FAQ

What signs might mean I should consider an adult autism assessment?

Many adults seek an assessment after noticing long-standing differences in how they experience social situations, communication, and daily life.

This can include finding social interactions tiring or confusing, difficulty interpreting tone or social cues, challenges with relationships, sensory sensitivities, a strong need for routine, or feeling overwhelmed in busy environments. Some people also describe intense interests, difficulties with organisation, or long-term feelings of anxiety or burnout linked to masking.

I’ve always felt “different”, could this be autism?

Yes, for many people this is often what leads them to explore an assessment.

Autism can present in subtle ways, especially when someone has developed coping strategies over time. A formal assessment can help you understand whether these patterns are part of autism or something else, and give you clearer insight into your experiences.

What happens after a diagnosis?

Following your assessment, you will receive a detailed diagnostic report and a feedback session with your clinician.

You will also be given tailored recommendations, which may include workplace adjustments, therapy options, psychoeducation, or further clinical support. Our team can also guide you towards appropriate next steps depending on your needs.

How long does a private adult autism assessment take?

The assessment is completed over a small number of structured appointments to ensure a full understanding of your experiences.

Once the process is complete, your report and feedback are typically provided within 7–10 working days.

Will a private autism diagnosis be recognised?

Yes. A formal diagnosis may help with workplace adjustments, healthcare services, and other tailored support where appropriate.

Can I have an assessment without involving my family?

Yes. An adult autism assessment can be completed without family involvement.

However, where helpful and appropriate, we may ask about developmental history or gather additional background information to support clinical understanding. This is always discussed with you first.

What does an adult autism assessment involve?

Your assessment is tailored to you as an individual and is not based on a single test or questionnaire.

It may include clinical interviews, structured diagnostic tools, behavioural observation, and standardised questionnaires. The aim is to build a full understanding of how you think, process information, and experience the world.
