Psicon Reviews 481

The nurse was extremely professional and put my daughter at ease so he could assess her. A positive experience for all involved.

Psicon were chosen by our GP as a Right To Choose partner for an ADHD assessment for our child. The assessment was a 'tick box' exercise, my child was seen by the assessor for three minutes, and asked three questions and then the remainder of the 35 minute assessment was discussing his flaws (from my perspective). The company did not engage in any communications that were attempted prior to the assessment and I feel as though we were fobbed off with a diagnosis without an assessment.

I picked Psicon via Right to Choose. I am a teacher, including SEND, and already know that my child has ADHD however she is masking at school. The following information that is published on their website is why I chose them and unfortunately I have now discovered that this is false information:

"What if the assessing clinicians don't see what I see (masking)?
Having assessed thousands of children for ADHD, we are used to seeing it present in many different ways. Our assessments are designed to take masking and camouflaging into account – especially with girls. Our team are very well trained in understanding this area and our assessment includes information gathered from both home and school, as well as data captured from what’s called a QB check. A QB check is an online test created by experts in the field to objectively compare the reactions of your child against key ADHD symptoms, the results of which are compiled in a report which is used by the clinician to inform the diagnostic assessment."

This information is greatly misleading. They are taking NHS money and for what??? Without even seeing her, Psicon have refused to assess my daughter - despite evidence from home, school, an edPsyc and the QB check. I will now have to go back to the GP and request referral to another provider, which will cost the NHS more money.

The Government are cracking down on Right to Choose and I can now see why!

If you are thinking of going for a private assessment with Psicon, I certainly wouldn't waste money with these charlatans.

Excellent communication from start to finish. The waiting time for an assessment was less than expected. The member of staff we had for our assessment was extremely good, professional, explained the process, listened to our concerns and was kind to my child. The report was very thorough, taking everything we discussed into consideration. It has provided me with a far better understanding of what my child is experiencing.

fantastic team, understanding and detailed. quick assessment and outcome. very helpful great service. wish we had come here years ago. Highly recommend. Has changed our lives

The practicioner was curious about my experience without being dismissive, which I have experienced before when it comes to mental health.

I made two referral for my Son on the Right to Choose pathway - for Autsim and ADHD. Throughout the whole process, Psicon have been both professional but very empathetic. Their communication has been great - both via email and also during phone calls. The process has been straight forward and simple. In each part of the assessment process, the clinicians and staff have been very clear, explanatory and very supportive and professional. They made myself and my son feel at ease. My son was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD and I feel as if navigating the process was made simple and clear. The report we received for the Autism assessment was highly accurate and reflective of my son and we are currently awaiting the ADHD report.
I would 100% recommend Psicon.
Thank you for your professionalism and care during this process.

So helpful to have Psicon support us as a family through an assessment and diagnosis. Thank you!

Fantastic service, assessments completed and sent in September, appointment in January with a diagnosis in the day, couldn’t ask for better. Highly recommend.

Raymond was a lovely man, very easy to talk to and my son felt very comfortable explaining to him

Very quick, effective, my waiting time was about 1 month from when i went on waiting list and i have been given multiple options of assessment date. all explained clearly

The lady that did my assessment was very kind and reassuring. I initially felt quite unsure however, this lady put me at ease. My appointment came quicker than I thought it would due to a cancellation so although I was apprehensive I was very grateful. I recieved a kind, caring and professional service thank you.

Considering the long wait times for ADHD assessments lately, I was amazed that from GP referral to the actual assesment was just over 5 months.... The whole process was great. The company kept me up to date with every stage and there time scales were spot on. The Dr who did the assesment was thorough and so genuine it was a great experience, I was apprehensive about the assesment via Microsoft teams but It went much smoother than I thought. I am now waiting for the report which can take approx 8 to 10 weeks, so a bit of a wait but understandable with the volume of people they see.
I would highly recommend Psicon for an ADHD assessment.

My son was given to chance to Asd/Adhd DuallAssesment.
From our 1st interactions via email to returning the relevant information from home and school setting to video link bideocalls reports and physical assessment where we had to travel nearly 3 hours to go to.
Honestly start to finish our time has been nothing but professional & helpful. Thanks to the whole team my son has a Adhd diagnosis/he did not meet the asd diagnosis (which was fine with me) it was thurra & our outcome has left us with the right steps moving forward in education school ect
This has all been within 12 - 18 months & I picked up the 1st course of his medication last week

I had an online ADHD assessment with Daniel Steatham at psicon, I couldn’t have asked for a better person to do it. Very calming and reassuring, light hearted and funny at times. He made an anxious experience really enjoyable.

The whole assessment from start to finish was very easy, quick and I was always kept up to date with where we were.
The lady that did the assessment with me and my son was very child friendly and child focused and my son felt comfortable

Efficient, professional, empathetic and very understanding from start to finish.

Accurate wait times for assessment, good communication and responsiveness and was really impressed with the assessor who was kind, thorough and personable. They advised of diagnosis at the end of the assessment, just waiting for my report and medication (so can’t comment on those aspects yet).

Gave me the diagnosis I’ve waited years for. Thank you.
