What makes you different to other clinics?
We hand pick all of our clinicians to ensure that they have the same values as us.
This ensures that our service users are actually listened to and are the heart of our treatment plans.
We recognise that diagnosis and treatment plans cannot simply be “one size fits all” and our personalised down to earth approach aims to keep the process as easy as possible.
We will try to keep your costs low where possible. Once you are on the right dose and feeling settled (you may need one or two medication titration appointments to achieve this), you can order your medication through the repeat medication process.
Following two months of being on the same dose, with no further changes, we will consider returning your care to your GP.
Can I see you on the NHS?
We are a private clinic, and therefore you cannot be seen by us as part of the NHS. <br><br>We can write to your GP once you are stable on your treatment to ask them to take over prescribing as part of a Shared Care Agreement, however they are under no obligation to accept this agreement.
Do I need a referral?
Our clinicians can see you directly without a referral, however a condition of all appointments is that you agree for Harley Street Mental Health to copy your GP into all assessment and treatment plans.
We are happy to accept referrals from other clinicians, however this is not necessary to use our service.
What happens during an appointment?
If you have booked a virtual appointment, you will be sent an invitation through our clinic software known as “Semble”. On the day of your appointment, you click the link and will enter into a video interview with one of our clinicians.
If you have booked an in-person appointment you will be greeted by your clinician in the waiting room.
Do you accept insurance?
Currently we do not accept insurance, and all of our assessments and treatment plans are self funded, and therefore we encourage you to look at the “fees” page prior to booking.
Do you prescribe medication?
Our team are able to prescribe medication as part of your treatment plan if this is required. Our prescriptions are private, and therefore you will be liable for the cost of the prescription and the medication.
Hod do I know if the treatment will be beneficial?
Unfortunately, there are no guarantees with psychiatry. All of our clinicians are extremely experienced and prescribe based on the most up to date evidence base. You will be involved in your treatment plans at all stages.
I have a complaint?
We are sorry to hear that you have a complaint. Please see the complaints section of our website or email complaints@hsmh.co.uk where we will endeavour to resolve your complaint in a timely manner.
What are the fees associated with ADHD Assessments?
Please see the fees section on the website. It is important that you are aware of all costs prior to starting treatment. An ADHD assessment costs £715 and lasts approximately 1.5 hours and will include a detailed written report and treatment plan (includes a prescription which will posted to your chosen pharmacy, if medication is considered suitable for you).
The cost of medication will be in addition to this and paid directly to your chosen pharmacy.
We then require service users to attend titration appointments at £150 each where your medication is adjusted until most effective. Once you move on to repeat prescriptions, they will cost £48 for a monthly prescription.
Once you are stable on your medication (around two months of being on the same dose, with no further changes and you feel much better) you can ask us to write to your GP and enter into a shared care agreement which costs £125. Your GP is under no obligation to accept a shared care agreement, and therefore we encourage all service users to discuss this with their GP prior to using our service.
Are you registered with the CQC?
Yes, we have been approved for registration with the Care Quality Commission

EXCELLENT Based on 301 reviews Posted on parsa mTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Sijjad Ijaz was very efficient, and understanding during my consultation. The consultation was well structured and he was very easy to talk to. Great experience overall.Posted on MuscabTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Sijjad Ijaz was brilliant. He made the assessment feel like a conversation, he was professional with some friendly banter and made me feel understood. He put my symptoms into words that I couldn’t describe and me agreeing “yes that’s me” and explained my diagnoses and what our options were going forward. With Hsmh the experience was great from start to finish, the booking process was simple with next day appointments. We had to fill in Questionnaires before the assessment which was demanding but got there in the end and the Admin team were understanding and compassionate on key points. Would definitely recommend DR Ijaz, to anyone looking for a serious compassionate idea of their condition.Posted on Jessie TafazzoliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a brilliant ADHD assessment with Dr Sijjad Ijaz. I felt listened to and understood throughout. Dr Ijaz explained what was going to happen in what order at the start and then reminded me throughout which helped me remain focused. Dr Ijaz made me feel super comfortable and asked me questions about my posters and fidget toy which calmed my nerves. He gave me time to explain myself, whilst helping me keep on topic by splitting up questions which I found overwhleming into smaller, easier ones. He made me feel able to ask for breaks if needed but because the session was done in such a way to avoid ovewhelm, I didn't need one! Often after long meetings like this I feel super exhausted and drained, but I left the meeting feeling heard, understood and excited for the future. Thank you Dr Sijjad Ijaz!Posted on Gregory STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was very nervous prior to the interview but Dr Sijjad Ijaz was friendly and made the process feel natural very early on. Learnt about myself + tons about adhd and potential treatments in a short time and all my questions were answered to a professional standard. I’m very gratefulPosted on marian franksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Sarah Sullivan is very professional, supportive. Thank you so muchPosted on MatthewTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zero complaints about HSMH, it's affordable, it's extremely quick but also thorough, every single thing was explained clearly and in great detail. The Dr who assessed me, Dr Sarah Sullivan, was absolutely lovely. I came into the assessment incredibly nervous, but was almost immediately calmed once she started speaking. The entire call was detailed, but it didn't feel like an interview or interrogation, it just felt like a regular, pleasant conversation. Anyone wanting to go private for an ADHD diagnosis should absolutely use this place, I'm absolutely delighted.Posted on Donna NaltonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was able to get an appointment 2 days after contracting Harley street mental health. We spoke to Dr Sijjad Ijaz, he was brilliant. Explained everything clearly and clearly knew what he was talking about. We even received his report on Christmas Day, we came away from the appointment with a sense of relief that a diagnosis had been given. Hopefully enabling a more structured and settle future.Posted on Twiggy GarciaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. had a great experience with Dr Sijjad, covered in depth everything I needed to know and was great an answering any questions. I wish I had done this sooner. Would highly recommendPosted on Emma SarjeantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was incredibly nervous before my assessment but Dr Sijjad Ijaz made me feel at ease from the beginning. I was able to book an assessment for the following day, even with the holidays coming up, and it did not feel that Dr Sijjad was trying to rush me at all. There were a few forms to complete prior to my assessment, including one to be completed by someone who knew me in childhood. I was nervous that the observer forms may have been too vague or not exact due to my specific circumstances, but Dr Sijjad reassured me and even let me send additional documentation that I had located following the submission of forms. Dr Sijjad explained things incredibly well and outlined my options which included both medical and non-medical support, which I appreciated. My case was quite complex, and I knew going into the assessment that it may not be as straight forward. It was explained to me that it needed to be heard in an MDT meeting, and my expectations were managed around this. I was expecting this to take weeks, but the very next day I have received my report and the outcome of the meeting. Dr Sijjad was great and quick at communicating with me, which is amazing particularly as I struggle with uncertainty. Dr Sijjad clearly explained the recommended treatment plan and for the first time I feel a sense of clarity and hope that I can work on my symptoms. I couldn’t recommend Harley Street Mental Health and Dr Sijjad more. Thank you Dr Sijjad for your care and compassion throughout this process.Posted on Samuel TottmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nothing bad to say about them at all. I had an ADHD assessment with Dr. Benjamin Walters, who was very understanding and knowledgeable and made me feel completely comfortable. They've been incredibly fast during every step of the process and are willing to answer questions whenever needed. Slightly more expensive than other similar options but very much worth the price for the quality and speed of serviceVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
