Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about how ADHD Horizon works.
Who the service is for (and who it isn’t)
Who is this service for?
ADHD Horizon provides psychological services for adults (18+) in the UK who have an ADHD diagnosis or a strong ADHD symptom profile, and are seeking structured support after diagnosis (or where ADHD is strongly indicated).
ADHD Horizon does not provide diagnostic assessments at this point in time. while clinical services (but not our educational workshops) are offered following screening to confirm suitability.
Who is this service not suitable for?
This service is not suitable for individuals who require crisis support, have unmanaged high-risk presentations, or need services outside the scope of ADHD Horizon (such as diagnostic assessments or medication management). In some cases, screening may indicate that a different type of support would be more appropriate.
Do you work with children or adolescents?
No. ADHD Horizon currently works with adults aged 18 and over only.
Do you accept clients outside the UK?
Clinical services are offered to UK-resident clients only.
Workshops are open-access and may be attended by people outside the UK.
Do you offer crisis or emergency services?
No. ADHD Horizon is not a crisis or emergency service.
If you are at immediate risk or need urgent support, you should contact your GP, NHS 111, local crisis services, or emergency services.
Choosing between the different options
What is the difference between 1:1 therapy and the group programme?
1:1 therapy offers individual, formulation-led psychological work tailored to the person.
The group programme is a structured, clinician-led course delivered to a small, closed group and follows an evidence-based ADHD group manual. Both are clinical services and are offered following screening to confirm suitability.
Are the groups a form of therapy?
Yes. The group programme is a clinical intervention, delivered by a clinician within a structured therapeutic framework. It is not peer-led or informal, and it differs from individual therapy in format and focus rather than in clinical standards.
What happens in the group programme?
The group programme focuses on shared learning, structure, and the development of practical psychological skills for living with ADHD. Sessions follow a planned progression, with each session building on the last within a defined programme.
Are groups and workshops similar?
No. Groups are clinical services and involve screening, clinical responsibility, and structured therapeutic input. Workshops are non-clinical, open-access educational sessions and do not involve therapy, personalised advice, or clinical records.
Screening & Process
What is ‘screening’ and what does it involve?
Screening is a brief process used to confirm whether a particular service is appropriate and can be offered safely. It typically involves completing a short set of online questionnaires and providing relevant background information.
Screening is not a diagnostic assessment and does not guarantee access to services.
Do I need a formal ADHD diagnosis to access clinical services?
A formal ADHD diagnosis is often helpful and, in most cases, required. In some circumstances, clinical services may also be considered where there is a strong ADHD symptom profile. Screening helps determine whether the service is appropriate in either case.
Does screening guarantee access to therapy or the group programme?
No. Screening does not guarantee access. Possible outcomes include proceeding with a service, being guided toward a different option, or being signposted elsewhere if ADHD Horizon is not the right fit.
What happens if I’m not suitable for a service?
If a service is not appropriate, this will be explained clearly. Where possible, alternative options or signposting will be suggested.
Workshops (Non-Clinical)
Are workshops therapy?
No. Workshops are educational and non-clinical. They do not involve psychological assessment, formulation, or treatment.
Do workshops offer personalised advice?
No. Workshops provide general information and practical strategies, but they do not include personalised advice, formulation, or individual guidance.
Does attending a workshop give priority access to therapy or groups?
No. Attending a workshop does not provide priority access to clinical services. Access to therapy or group programmes is considered separately and follows a screening process.
Are workshops recorded?
Workshops are not recorded. This helps maintain clear boundaries and protects participant privacy.
Practicalities
What are the fees?
Fees are listed clearly on each service page. 1:1 therapy is charged per session, the group programme is priced as a full course, and workshops are priced per event.
Do you offer reduced rates?
No. ADHD Horizon does not currently offer reduced or concessionary rates. Affordability is addressed through the use of different formats, such as group programmes and workshops.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellation and rescheduling terms are explained before booking and form part of the service agreement. These differ slightly between therapy, groups, and workshops and are outlined on the relevant service pages.
How are sessions delivered?
All services are delivered online. Clinical services are provided via secure telehealth platforms. Workshops are delivered live online in a non-clinical format.
What platforms do you use?
Clinical services use Semble for secure telehealth and clinical data handling. Workshops are delivered live via Zoom for participants to join. Both can be accessed through a web browser, but a stable internet connection is required for participation.
