Vela
£449, a thorough consultant psychiatrist assessment. Weeks, not years.
Over 800,000 people are waiting for an ADHD assessment in England. Most adults wait over a year; many wait several, or simply give up. We built a faster route that doesn't cut corners.
Assessments are opening soon. Joining the list carries no cost and no commitment.
Structured questionnaires, then a guided interview completed by voice at your own pace. Pause and resume whenever you need. Our voice technology guides the conversation and records every answer in your own words. Together they collect the information your psychiatrist needs: your symptoms, your history, your day-to-day life.
Your complete record, including the full interview, your questionnaires and your history, is reviewed in detail by a consultant psychiatrist. They make their own clinical assessment. No software makes any clinical decision.
Before anything is confirmed, you meet your clinician on a video call. They confirm the assessment with you, answer your questions, and discuss your next steps together.
If treatment is appropriate, we refer you to an independent treatment provider and send them your report with your consent.
A private ADHD assessment usually costs around £1,000, because a psychiatrist spends two hours with you, much of it collecting the same history everyone is asked for. At Vela our voice interviewer collects that history, so your psychiatrist spends their time on the assessment itself: reviewing your record, speaking with you and making the clinical decision.
What's included
The full guided intake on our platform, a consultant psychiatrist's review of your complete record, a video consultation, a signed diagnostic report, and a referral to an independent treatment provider if treatment is appropriate.
Ongoing care
If treatment is appropriate, we refer you to an independent UK treatment provider and send them your report with your consent.
Most people wait years and pay four figures. You shouldn't have to do either.
Every assessment is made by a consultant psychiatrist.
A diagnosis is never delivered by software or by email. You speak with your clinician before anything is confirmed.
Transparent pricing. We'll tell you honestly if this isn't the right path for you.
No 8am phone queues, no forms that punish forgetting. Complete your intake when your brain wants to.
Your diagnosis is made by a consultant psychiatrist, and only them. Our voice technology uses AI to guide and record your interview; it does not assess, score or diagnose. Your psychiatrist reviews your complete record, forms their own clinical judgment, and confirms it with you on a call.
A guided interview that collects the detailed history your psychiatrist reviews. It is guided by our voice technology, from home, at your own pace. Most people take 45 minutes. You can pause and come back anytime.
Then we tell you that honestly, and your clinician explains what they found and what routes might help instead. You'll have a thorough written record either way. We only recommend treatment where it's clinically appropriate.
No. Vela doesn't prescribe. If treatment is appropriate, we refer you to an independent UK treatment provider and send them your report with your consent.
We assess and hand you to a treatment provider who does titration and ongoing prescribing. Their fees are separate from ours, and set by them.
You'll receive a full written report when we hand you over. Shared care itself is arranged by your treatment provider: once you're stable on a dose, they write to your GP with the diagnosis, the medication and the monitoring schedule, and ask them to take over prescribing. Many GPs accept. Some GPs and some ICBs refuse private diagnoses as a matter of policy, and that's outside anyone's control. If yours declines, you can stay with your treatment provider privately.
We're opening in stages. Priority list members get first access, in list order.
