Held Health has been amazing in particular Jack.
He answered all our questions got back to us when we emailed or left a voice message and guided us through the whole process. Our daughter was seen for a dual referall in person and virtually and has now received her diagnosis. We are extremley gratefull. Thank you.

We had been in the system of obtaining a diagnosis for ADHD and ASD for the previous two years, dealing with both community paediatricians and other private providers. HELD HEALTH were referred to us under the Right to Choose pathway and they didn't disappoint. Their processes were slick, the professionals we liaised with were fabulous and were clear experts in their field. Such a relief to deal with an organisation who aptly have the right name. We felt 'held' at all times of the process. We cannot thank you enough!

My daughter was referred for a Right to Choose ASD assessment on 12/03. I submitted all requested forms by 16/03 and received confirmation that they had been received. I was then later told by email that the parent assessment had not been completed, which makes no sense given that the paperwork had already been acknowledged.
Since then, I have sent emails and left voicemail messages, and nobody has responded. For a service dealing with children’s assessments and sensitive personal information, this lack of communication and apparent disorganisation is unacceptable.
What is especially concerning is the handling of the information already submitted. If forms were received and acknowledged, why am I now being told something is missing, and what has happened to the information provided? Given the sensitive nature of these forms, this raises serious concerns about record keeping and data handling.
When parents are seeking an autism assessment for their child, they need clear communication, accuracy and reassurance that personal information is being managed properly. Unfortunately, my experience so far has been the opposite.

We have used Held Health through RTC and private assessments. Whilst the RTC application was smooth to navigate you do not get a dedicated contact support as you do with a private diagnosis. Having Jack as our primary contact both by phone and email was much more streamlined. All of the clinicians we saw for the ASD and ADHD appointments were kind, supportive and went beyond to help us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Held to anyone wanting to explore a diagnosis of ADHD or ASD

We had both of our sons assessed at Held Health and had a wonderful experience with each. Our first son was assessed for both ADHD and Autism, and both assessments were completed in just 15 weeks.
Over seven years ago, we sought support from CAMHS for our second son and got nowhere, he was repeatedly rejected and discharged twice without our knowledge. He is now out of school entirely.
After such a positive experience with our first son, we decided to try Held Health for our second. I was honestly terrified, given the trauma we had been through at the hands of those who were supposed to help us. But every clinician we encountered was warm and professional, they put us at ease, and, most importantly, we felt truly listened to. He received his diagnosis in just 29 weeks.
A special mention must go to Jessica Hett, who was absolutely brilliant and incredibly knowledgeable. She is a real credit to the company. We are now hopeful that, with her report and recommendations, we can finally get our son into the right school and he can feel safe and happy in education for the first time in a very long time.
I am so grateful for everything Held Health has done for our family.
For anyone put off by reviews mentioning communication issues, yes, it can be frustrating at times, but staff do always get back to you. After years of being let down and ignored by the system, I'll take that any day.

Very misleading and shocking communication. It tells you 20/28 weeks wait time once you are ready for assessment. What they don’t tell you is how long it takes to be ready for assessment. My GP submitted my son’s referral at the beginning of February. No confirmation it has been received, no response to email, telephone or call back. These processes are already a stressful time for parents without feeling totally ignored. While I do appreciate the demand for this service is high, a simple confirmation email is surely not too much to ask. I wish I had chosen a different provider.

REALLY CLEAR WORKSHOP aims, clear delivery, well paced and informative. Claire gave clear pertinent information about autistic burnout, what to look for, why and how our child might experience it and how to ask schools for help, and as parent how we can help our child if they experience this. Also provided information after the session, and answered lots of questions that the attendees asked.

The workshop was very informative and easy to understand and follow

I had a brilliant experience with Held Health. We had our 3 appointments within the same month so there wasn't too much waiting in-between. Every professional I have spoken to has been so calm, polite and understanding. Our first appointment ran over but they didn't moan at all, they were happy to listen to all of my concerns which was such a nice change as other professionals have made me feel like a paranoid mum. During the in-person assessment the professional was so patient with my daughter, she didn't put any pressure on her and I could see that my daughter was as at ease as she can be when meeting new people. The diagnosis appointment was handled perfectly and felt really personal. Held Health noticed traits in my daughter that even I hadn't which was really helpful. My only niggle is that following the diagnosis we attended a workshop, this was 3 months post diagnosis and during it we were told about other workshops that had run, that it seemed quite a few people including myself hadn't been invited to. It seems as though there may be an issue with sending the invites out following diagnosis, so perhaps this can be looked in to but otherwise all in all I am extremely happy with the experience we have had with Held Health, thank you.

Great service from start to finish and were a life line at a time that we needed to ensure the right support for our eldest starting school. Initial contact via email / telephone responses were slower but I know they were inundated with referrals at the same time we were referred so keeping up with demand will have been challenging for them! But once in the system no complaints at all. We were listened to for the first time with care, compassion and understanding. Will be issuing again once our son reaches the age of ADHD diagnosis. The workshops post diagnosis are also really helpful!

Pleased course offered. Usefu. Never got the invite to all the other courses would have liked to attend and would ask that you re run them please. Useful to be able to ask questions live and see others' experiences. Would HH consider having a moderated forum for your service users also, I know cost implication and GDPR implication.

My daughter was referred to Held Health for a ASD assessment through the right to choose process. We were referred in September 2025 and received our autism diagnosis on the 25th February 2026. The entire process was fantastic. I had quick responses when I needed them from Held Health and every member of staff we dealt with was professional. I would like to say a big thank you to Dr Reginald and Phoebe who did our assessments. I would highly recommend Held Health if you are seeking a ASD/ADHD diagnosis.

Went via Right to choose due to advertised wait times upon receiving paperwork. Problems uploading some documents on site so emailed , impossible to get hold of or timely replies. Finally got a response via emails after weeks of waiting to be told school paperwork was outstanding. Sent evidence this was completed July . Still no response

Brilliant company with amazing clinicians. Just received an ADHD diagnosis for my daughter today, just 4 months after the GP referral was sent. I felt listened to without judgement by both clinicians I spoke to, and my daughter was spoken to with such care and thoughtfulness. 100% recommend them. I've seen other comments about communication being a problem, but I've had a quick response (same day) both times I needed to call them, and the whole process was quick and simple

I have found this company difficult to get hold of, ive not managed to get through by phone despite calling regularly. Emails go unanswered for weeks even when chased up. I don’t know what the service is like yet as we’re still waiting after months. As they came recommended by a friend I’m really disappointed.

Very professional and helpful. Easy to contact. Realistic program

After 2 gruelling years waiting for the LA to provide the Tribunal and High Court ordered EHCP Clinical Psychotherapy for our now significantly psychologically damaged autistic 16 year old son, due to years of unchecked school bullying and neglect of his EHCP provision, he is now, after only a few sessions with the caring, diligent, immensely personable and highly professional Dr Emily Hale, beginning to smile again and have his hopes and self-esteem returned to him. We have a long way to go, but our boy so looks forward to his weekly sessions with Emily, whom he trusts absolutely, and knows (as we do) that she is doing, and will continue to do, all she can to help ‘fix’ our damaged boy. We cannot recommend her highly enough, and are enormously grateful to her, and her dedicated and courteous team, for all the support and encouragement they are collectively providing our son, and us.
