Psychiatry assessments for children and young people

Specialist ADHD and autism assessments for children and young people, with clear guidance for families at every step.

What to expect

Here’s how we support children, young people and their families, step by step.

Initial phone consultation

A short phone call with a Consultant Psychiatrist to talk through your concerns, check whether psychiatry is the right option and whether we’re the right fit for your family.

Registration

If we agree to go ahead, we’ll send registration forms and questionnaires, and request information from your GP so we have a full picture of your child’s health and history.

First appointment

Up to 2 hours to meet you as a family, then parents and your child separately if appropriate. We explore current difficulties, background and impact on daily life, and share our initial thoughts and next steps.

Ongoing care

We tailor follow‑up appointments and, where needed, work closely with schools and other professionals. We can also arrange joint autism assessments with clinical psychologists and discuss medication options.

What we can help with

We are a CQC Good rated clinic in children's services, supporting children and young people with a wide range of emotional, behavioural and developmental difficulties.

JM Mental Health works with children and young people in the context of their families, schools and wider community, collaborating with parents and carers and, where needed, schools or social workers.

Where we aren't the right service for you

We provide specialist care for many areas of mental health. However, there are some conditions and situations that we do not treat at our clinic:

  • People who need immediate crisis or emergency care
  • Eating disorders that require intensive inpatient treatment
  • Individuals who require long-term psychiatric hospitalisation
  • Emergency care for severe self-harm
  • Active suicidal ideation requiring urgent NHS intervention

Ages 6 to 18

In clinic at 39a Regent Street, Leamington Spa, or online across the UK. Families come to us from Leamington Spa, Warwick, Kenilworth and Coventry.

When does the transition begin?

We typically start planning when a young person is 17.5, ensuring they have a clear path to Atrom Mindcare adult services by their 18th birthday.

What about my records?

Being part of the Atrom Mindcare Group, we can ensure your clinical notes and history move securely with you for complete continuity.

Transition to Adult Care

As part of Atrom Mindcare Group we can ensure a seamless bridge for young people moving from children’s mental health services into adult support.

Will I keep the same psychiatrist?

While you may transition to an adult specialist, our teams work closely together to share history and provide a warm handover with no care gaps.

How do I arrange care after 18?

Our clinic team will facilitate the booking directly, making the transition simple and stress-free for both parents and young adults.
