Getting started
Who does APIS Clinic see?
APIS Clinic supports adults and young people aged 16+ with ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, mental health difficulties, diagnostic uncertainty and trait-led support needs. We are based at 10 Harley Street, London, and assessments can usually be accessed online via a secure link where appropriate.
Do I need to know which pathway I need before contacting you?
No. You do not need to have everything worked out before getting in touch. Tell us briefly what you are hoping for and our team will help you understand the next step, including whether ADHD, autism, AuDHD, mental health assessment, diagnostic review or trait-led support is the right starting point.
What happens after I enquire?
A member of our team gets in touch, collects some basic details, answers initial questions and arranges a specialist screening call. If the pathway is appropriate, you complete questionnaires and background information in one place before your appointment, and objective measures may be used where appropriate.
How does the APIS pathway work?
Five steps: 1) Screening call & information, 2) Questionnaires & objective tests, 3) Clinical assessment and conceptualisation, 4) Feedback and report, 5) Support plan and next steps. The written report is usually sent within 7 days of the assessment.
Can I get support without a formal diagnosis?
Yes. Trait-Led Support is for people who recognise traits, patterns or day-to-day difficulties but do not have, or are not seeking, a formal diagnosis. You can move to a full assessment at any point.

Assessment
Is the assessment online or in person?
The assessment can usually be accessed via a secure link, including on your phone or another device where appropriate. Appointments can also be arranged in person at 10 Harley Street.
Can I bring someone to my assessment?
Yes. You can attend alone or with a family member, partner, friend or another supportive person. We always respect your privacy and consent.
Do questionnaires and objective tests replace the clinical assessment?
No. Questionnaires and objective attention or cognitive measures add useful information, but they do not replace careful clinical assessment by a specialist.
How long until I receive my report?
Your clinician prepares a written report after the assessment, usually sent within 7 days. It summarises the assessment, formulation, diagnostic opinion where appropriate, and personalised recommendations.
What is Re-Diagnosis & Diagnostic Review?
A careful, neutral specialist review of a previous ADHD, autism, AuDHD or mental health diagnosis. It does not assume the previous diagnosis was wrong; it means we look again, with document review, updated measures, specialist re-assessment and two-clinician formulation where appropriate.

Treatment, medication and support
Does APIS Clinic prescribe ADHD medication?
Medication may be discussed where clinically appropriate, with suitable checks, discussion of benefits and risks, and ongoing review. Medication initiation and titration may be provided through an appropriate partner clinic pathway where required, subject to clinical suitability, patient consent and the partner clinic’s own governance process.
What is Brain Health at APIS?
Brain Health brings together cognitive training and ILF neurofeedback as part of a wider, personalised support pathway. They are supportive interventions, not guaranteed treatments, and not a replacement for assessment, medication, therapy or crisis care.
What is Propel ADHD?
Propel ADHD is a phone-based cognitive training platform using short, structured games to practise attention, memory, response control and cognitive flexibility. APIS Clinic patients may be offered subsidised access where eligible.
