Harley Street Mental Health: mental health assessments and treatment in London

Harley Street Mental Health is a mental health clinic based at 10 Harley Street, London, offering assessments and treatment for a range of mental health conditions, with a particular focus on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The clinic combines in-person care and secure virtual consultations, and its team is made up of doctors registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and accredited specialists.

The organisation presents itself as a provider of services commissioned by the UK public health system: it has been commissioned to carry out adult ADHD assessments for patients in Norfolk and Waveney, and adult autism assessments for patients in West Yorkshire. In addition, the clinic states that its assessments follow the guidelines of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the standards of the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and that they exceed NICE, UKAAN and AQAS standards.

Assessment and diagnosis services

The service catalogue is organised into three main areas:

• Neurodevelopmental services: adult ADHD assessment, childhood ADHD assessment (with a CAMHS consultant psychiatrist), autism (ASC) assessment and dyslexia assessment.
• Psychiatric services: general psychiatric assessment and assessment for anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD/C-PTSD), insomnia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and phobias. Psychiatric assessments are also carried out for cosmetic surgery patients.
• Specialised and legal services: medico-legal capacity assessment, immigration psychiatry, visa evaluation, occupational health assessment, driving offences and supervision.

Adult ADHD assessments include an in-depth clinical interview, the use of validated diagnostic tools such as DIVA 5.0 and a review of developmental history and current symptoms. When a diagnosis is confirmed, guidance is offered on treatment options that may include medication, therapy and lifestyle strategies. The detailed assessment report is usually delivered within three to five days after the consultation, although in most cases it is received sooner.

Care process

The clinic describes a structured four-phase process. In the phase before the appointment, the patient books online, chooses the clinician and completes the preparation questionnaires. During the appointment, they receive an assessment from a professional. Afterwards, they receive detailed results with personalised recommendations. Finally, treatment can be completed with follow-up to ensure continuity of progress.

The organisation's philosophy, according to its own presentation, is based on a personalised approach and the most up-to-date evidence-based medicine, avoiding one-size-fits-all solutions. Among the aspects it highlights for those who choose its services are the possibility of a next-day appointment, tailored treatment plans and a responsive team.

Training for professionals: Harley Academy

Harley Street Mental Health runs Harley Academy, an academy that delivers approved continuing professional development (CPD) courses for professionals on how to diagnose and manage ADHD. The academy has a UK section and an international section.

Access and consultation formats

The clinic provides care both in person at its Harley Street address and through secure virtual consultations. The website allows you to book an appointment online, choose a clinician and check prices. It also offers repeat prescription services, blood pressure monitor ordering and access to the NHS Right to Choose programme, as well as a tool to check NHS waiting times by entering your postcode.

The organisation holds a 5.0 rating on Google based on more than 850 reviews, according to the data shown on its site.
