Why choose Sanctum

Assessment built around you

We do things differently. Here's what that means in practice.

Your diagnosis is accepted everywhere that matters

Every assessment is led by a GMC-registered Consultant Psychiatrist. Your diagnosis carries full clinical weight with GPs, employers, the DVLA, and educational institutions.

GMC · HCPC · CQC Regulated

Skip the 3–5 year NHS wait

NHS ADHD waiting lists average 3–5 years in many areas. We typically have availability within 2–4 weeks. Same-week slots are often possible.

Subject to availability

A report your GP, employer, and DVLA will accept

A comprehensive written report — not a checkbox summary. Details your findings, strengths, challenges, and personalised recommendations for GP, workplace, or university.

DSA · Employer · GP-ready

You'll feel heard, not processed

Our team are chosen for their ability to listen, not just assess. Patients consistently mention feeling heard and cared for, not processed. That's by design.

Spread the cost from £67/month

We accept most major private health insurers and offer payment plans through Payl8r so you can spread the cost monthly.

Common questions

Questions we get asked

Yes. Our assessments are carried out by GMC-registered Consultant Psychiatrists and meet NICE guidelines, meaning your diagnosis is clinically valid and recognised by your GP, NHS services, employers, educational institutions, and the DVLA. We provide a full written report you can share with any relevant party.
In most cases, yes. DSA eligibility depends on your assessment report and your institution's requirements. We recommend checking with your university's disability support team. Our reports are detailed and clinically comprehensive, which is what DSA assessors need.
A negative or inconclusive result is still a valuable outcome. You'll receive a full clinical report explaining our findings, what was ruled out, and recommended next steps. You won't leave without clarity and a clear path forward.
Yes — we work with most major private health insurers. We recommend calling your insurer before booking to confirm cover. Our team are happy to help navigate the process and can provide the documentation your insurer needs.
Yes. We offer flexible payment plans through Payl8r, allowing you to spread the cost of your assessment over monthly instalments. Speak to our team when you book and we'll walk you through the available options.
A Gold ADHD assessment typically takes around 2 hours. Platinum and combined assessments involve multiple stages and may take place across more than one session. You'll receive a full briefing before your appointment.
Both. Gold ADHD assessments are online via secure video call. Platinum, autism, and combined assessments can be online or face-to-face at our Wilmslow clinic. Online assessments are clinically equivalent — the format makes no difference to the validity of your diagnosis.
