How it works

  1. 1

    Complete your intake and guided interview from home.

    Structured questionnaires, then a guided interview completed by voice at your own pace. Pause and resume whenever you need. Our voice technology guides the conversation and records every answer in your own words. Together they cover everything a thorough ADHD assessment should: your symptoms, your history, your day-to-day life.

  2. 2

    A specialist ADHD clinician reviews your complete record.

    Your complete record, including the full interview, your questionnaires and your history, is reviewed in detail by a specialist ADHD clinician working under consultant-led clinical governance. They make their own clinical assessment. No software makes any clinical decision.

  3. 3

    Speak with your clinician.

    Before anything is confirmed, you meet your clinician on a video call. They confirm the assessment with you, answer your questions, and discuss your next steps together.

  4. 4

    Start treatment, without the runaround.

    We connect you with the right verified care provider and manage the whole handover end to end, fast, with no admin left on your plate.

Why £449?

£449 Assessment

The full guided intake on our platform, specialist ADHD clinician review of the complete record, a signed diagnostic report built to the UKAAN AQAS standard, and a managed handover to ongoing care if treatment is appropriate.

Ongoing care

We don't provide ongoing treatment. If treatment is appropriate, we connect you with a verified UK care provider and manage the whole handover for you end to end.

Most people wait years and pay four figures. You shouldn't have to do either.

FAQ

Who makes my diagnosis?

Your diagnosis is made by a UK-registered specialist ADHD clinician, working under consultant-led clinical governance, and only them. Our voice technology uses AI to guide and record your interview; it does not assess, score or diagnose. Your clinician reviews your complete record, forms their own clinical judgment, and confirms it with you on a call.

What is the guided interview like?

A guided interview covering the same ground a traditional assessment covers. It is guided by our voice technology, from home, at your own pace. Most people take 45 minutes. You can pause and come back anytime.

What if I'm not diagnosed with ADHD?

Then we tell you that honestly, and your clinician explains what they found and what routes might help instead. You'll have a thorough written record either way. We only recommend treatment where it's clinically appropriate.

Can I get medication through Vela?

No. Vela doesn't prescribe. If treatment is appropriate, your clinician's report goes to a verified UK care provider and we manage the handover.

What happens after diagnosis?

We assess and hand you to a treatment provider who does titration and ongoing prescribing. Their fees are separate from ours, and we'll tell you what your options cost before you commit to anything.

Will my GP take over prescribing?

You'll receive a full written report and a letter for your GP when we hand you over. Shared care itself is arranged by your treatment provider: once you're stable on a dose, they write to your GP with the diagnosis, the medication and the monitoring schedule, and ask them to take over prescribing. Many GPs accept. Some GPs and some ICBs refuse private diagnoses as a matter of policy, and that's outside anyone's control. If yours declines, you can stay with your treatment provider privately.
