A Neurodevelopmental & Psychiatric Clinic

Most people come to us with a single question about ADHD or autism. Many stay for something broader — a considered, consultant-led home for the mind that extends into general psychiatric care, later-life memory concerns, and independent clinical opinion.

I

Neurodevelopmental Diagnosis

Clear, considered diagnosis of ADHD, autism, and how the two may present together.

II Coming Soon

General Adult Psychiatry

Comprehensive psychiatric care across mood, anxiety and the conditions that shape adult life.

III Coming Soon

Later-Life & Memory

Thoughtful evaluation of memory and cognitive change, for individuals and the families who support them.

IV

Independent & Medico-Legal

Psychiatric opinion prepared for legal, educational and professional purposes.

Who We Help

People who have waited long enough for answers

Adults diagnosed later in life, after years of quietly managing on their own. Women whose traits were missed or masked for decades. Professionals holding it together in ways that take a private toll. Parents seeking clarity for their child, or for themselves once they recognise the overlap between ADHD and autism. Whatever brought you here, you are not starting from nothing — you are simply looking for someone to help you make sense of it.

Why a Consultant Psychiatrist

The person leading your care matters

Dr Raj Sankar, Consultant Psychiatrist at The Thistle Clinic

A Consultant Psychiatrist has completed specialist medical training recognised by the GMC, and holds ultimate clinical responsibility for your diagnosis. Your care is genuinely overseen by someone experienced enough to notice complexity — co-occurring conditions, overlapping traits, and the details a shorter process might miss.

This is why our reports are recognised by schools, employers and healthcare professionals, and why families often come to us for a second opinion when an earlier diagnosis left questions unanswered.

Who You Will Actually Meet
