About Acorn Psychiatry
Acorn Psychiatry provides private psychiatric services for children and young adults under 18, specialising in neurodevelopmental assessment and support. As a full member of the Royal College of Psychiatry and an Approved Clinician Under The Secretary Of State, the practice brings regulated expertise to complex presentations.
The service offers comprehensive ADHD assessment using evidence-based tools including Conners and SNAP IV questionnaires, alongside autism assessment using the ADOS-2, a gold standard multidisciplinary assessment tool. Autism pre-assessment and screening services help clarify diagnostic pathways, and ADHD coaching provides practical support beyond assessment. QB Check screening is also available as part of the diagnostic toolkit.
Acorn Psychiatry is ideal for families seeking thorough, clinically rigorous assessment and ongoing support for neurodevelopmental concerns in young people.
