Taking the anxiety out of starting ADHD medication.
Expert-guided ADHD medication and titration by GMC-registered Consultant Psychiatrists — at your pace, every step.
WHY IT MATTERS
Many adults with ADHD try medication without adequate guidance, experience side effects, and give up before finding the right approach. Starting treatment with a specialist means your medication is selected based on your full clinical picture — your symptoms, physical health, lifestyle, and personal goals.
Our whole-person approach means medication is never considered in isolation. Behavioural strategies, lifestyle modifications, and coaching are integrated from the beginning to give you the best chance of long-term success.
YOUR CLINICIAN
Every ADHD treatment decision at Integra is made personally by a Consultant Psychiatrist on the GMC Specialist Register — not a trainee, nurse prescriber, or psychologist.

YOUR JOURNEY
Already had your ADHD diagnostic assessment? Send us a brief message and we will respond within 48 hours to arrange your treatment consultation.
2 minutesYour Consultant Psychiatrist reviews your diagnosis, symptoms, physical health, and personal circumstances to recommend the most appropriate medication. Options including stimulants and non-stimulants are discussed clearly, with no jargon.
1 hourTreatment begins at a low starting dose, selected for your specific presentation. You will receive clear guidance on what to expect, what to monitor, and how to communicate any changes in mood, appetite, sleep, or other concerns.
At your paceFollow-up appointments track your progress, assess side effects, and adjust your dose in small increments until optimal symptom control is achieved. Physical health monitoring — including blood pressure, heart rate, and weight — is included throughout.
OngoingOnce stable, you will require an annual prescription review and six-monthly or annual physical health monitoring. Where possible, this is transferred to your GP via shared care. For GP practices not accepting shared care for ADHD medication, we have a partnership with a local service that can provide this at a relatively low cost.

REAL STORIES
The titration process was carefully managed and I never felt rushed. Dr Goel adjusted the plan based on how I was actually responding — not just a protocol.
Starting ADHD Treatment
We know starting medication can feel daunting. Here's clear, honest guidance on what the treatment process at Integra actually involves.
Not necessarily. If you already hold a formal ADHD diagnosis from another provider, we may be able to support your treatment directly. Contact us with your existing report and we will advise on the most appropriate pathway.
This is an individual clinical decision made by your Consultant Psychiatrist based on your symptoms, physical health, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Commonly prescribed options include methylphenidate, lisdexamfetamine, atomoxetine, and guanfacine. Your clinician will explain the options clearly before any prescription is issued.
Titration begins with a low starting dose that is gradually increased in small increments based on your response and tolerance. The goal is to achieve the best symptom control with the fewest side effects. Regular follow-up appointments are used to track progress and make adjustments. Stimulant medications are typically adjusted over several weeks; non-stimulants may take longer to reach full effectiveness.
Throughout titration and ongoing treatment, we monitor blood pressure, heart rate, weight, and sleep patterns. Structured feedback and standardised rating scales are also used to assess both benefits and side effects at each stage.
For patients with a previous ADHD diagnosis, the initial 1-hour consultation with Dr Goel is £460, plus a £75 script fee where a prescription is issued. ADHD treatment follow-up appointments are £325 for 30 minutes, inclusive of the prescription fee.
NICE guidelines recommend a combined approach — typically medication alongside behavioural strategies, lifestyle changes, and where appropriate, coaching or psychological support. Stimulant medications are generally first-line, with non-stimulants available for those who do not tolerate them. At Integra, every treatment plan is tailored to the individual by a GMC-registered Consultant Psychiatrist.
Yes, and this is often recommended. Medication is one part of your overall treatment plan. Behavioural strategies, lifestyle modifications, and coaching can all be integrated alongside medication to improve long-term outcomes.
Once optimal symptom control has been achieved, you will typically require a prescription review and physical health monitoring every six months to annually. This can often be managed via your GP through shared care arrangements.
Many GPs will enter a shared care agreement to continue ADHD medication initiated privately. Our reports are specifically formatted to support shared care requests and include all the clinical information your GP needs. We recommend discussing this with your GP before or after your assessment.
Yes. Consultations can be invoiced directly to your insurer where preferred. Prior authorisation from your insurance provider is required before booking. Please note that insurers do not cover late cancellation or non-attendance charges — these remain the patient's responsibility.
