Berkeley Psychiatrists

Overview

Berkeley Psychiatrists is a private psychiatric practice specialising in adult ADHD assessment and treatment. The clinic provides specialist psychiatric evaluations, medication management and follow-up care, combining in-person appointments at their London clinic with video consultations. Their work emphasises accurate diagnosis, evidence-based treatment and coordinated care with patients’ GPs via shared-care agreements.

The practice positions itself as a specialist service for adults seeking comprehensive ADHD assessment and medication titration. They follow national clinical guidance and highlight multidisciplinary input where needed to ensure safe prescribing and ongoing monitoring.

Best for

This provider is best suited for adults who suspect they have ADHD or who need specialist psychiatric assessment and medication management. Typical clients include adults with long-standing attention and concentration difficulties, executive function problems, procrastination and those requiring medication titration under specialist supervision.

• Adults seeking formal ADHD diagnosis
• Individuals needing specialist medication initiation and titration
• Clients who prefer either in-person or video appointments

Approach

The clinic uses structured clinical interviews, validated rating scales and collateral information from an informant as part of the Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in Adults (DIVA). Initial assessments typically last 60–90 minutes and may span up to two sessions when needed to gather a comprehensive history.

Treatment focuses on evidence-based pharmacological approaches alongside clinical monitoring. If medication is started, follow-up appointments with the psychiatrist or a clinical pharmacist are used for titration and monitoring of response and side effects. When appropriate, a Shared Care Agreement is issued for the patient’s GP to take over routine prescribing.

Education and Training

The clinical team comprises psychiatrists and clinical staff experienced in adult ADHD assessment and differential diagnosis. The service states adherence to NICE guidance for ADHD and autism assessments, and the team includes clinicians who conduct standardised assessments and use validated rating tools.

Support

Clients receive preparatory questionnaires to complete before assessment, and an informant (family member or friend) is asked to contribute information when possible. The practice screens for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression and substance use disorder and provides treatment recommendations or referrals accordingly.

Safety and governance are emphasised through clinical follow-up during medication titration, coordination with GPs via Shared Care Agreements, and clear instructions regarding emergency services (the clinic does not provide emergency care).
