The Aspen Clinic: ADHD and autism assessment and support in Salford

The Aspen Clinic is a private clinic based in Salford, in the Greater Manchester metropolitan area, dedicated to the assessment and support of people with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), autism and learning difficulties. Its work covers children, young people and adults, and also includes families, carers and communities, both before and after diagnosis.

The clinic presents itself as a space intentionally designed around neurodiversity, with autistic and ADHD professionals involved in service delivery. Its approach combines assessment with practical strategies and personalised guidance.

Assessment and support services

Its care provision is organised into three main areas:

• ADHD: comprehensive assessments and highly personalised support, with practical strategies tailored to each person's strengths, difficulties and goals, aimed at improving performance at school, at work and in daily life.
• Autism: assessments, individualised support and strategies that can be applied in school, at work and in daily life, recognising each person's communication characteristics and sensory needs.
• Learning difficulties: assessment of cognitive profile, strengths and difficulties, with personalised intervention plans that integrate evidence-based strategies, accommodations and practical tools.

Multidisciplinary team and complementary therapies

The Aspen Clinic team is multidisciplinary and includes professionals in psychology, psychiatry, mental health nursing, speech and language therapy and occupational therapy. In addition to assessments, the clinic offers therapy and personalised support, with guidance, practical strategies and signposting to trusted resources and professionals.

Among the complementary services listed in its catalogue are post-diagnostic support and psychoeducation, cognitive behavioural therapy for anxiety and depression, speech and language sessions, cognitive assessments, psychological therapy, parenting sessions and group and one-to-one sessions.

Access routes: private patients and NHS

The clinic serves both private patients and patients referred by the NHS. It has separate contact channels for GP referrals, NHS patient enquiries and private patient enquiries. The clinic has indicated that it no longer responds to messages sent via WhatsApp, in order to centralise enquiries through the appropriate channels.

Promotion in place at the time of analysis

To mark Mental Health Awareness Month, the clinic was advertising 30% off all its services during the month of May, according to information published on its website.
