Our service is led by two Directors - a Consultant Paediatrician and a Clinical Psychologist - who work closely together to provide joined‑up, thoughtful support for children, young people, adults, and families.
Although we are based in the North West of England, within easy reach of Cumbria, Lancashire, and West Yorkshire, we support families from across the UK through both face‑to‑face and online appointments.
Over our many years working in the NHS, we noticed that families were often passed from one service to another, waiting on different lists without anyone looking at the whole picture. This can be especially difficult when a child, young person, or family is already in crisis.
At Health Horizons, our aim is to bring everything together. When things feel overwhelming, we work with you to build a shared understanding of what is happening and to think together about the best way forward.
We offer holistic, joined up, multidisciplinary assessments for children, young people, adults, and families who may be facing complex or confusing situations.
Our assessments look at your child within the context of their family and relationships. We consider physical health, emotional wellbeing, development, communication, and learning. We also explore areas such as attachment, trauma, speech and language needs, and possible diagnoses including Autism (ASD) and ADHD. If a young person already has a diagnosis, we can review whether it still fits their current presentation.
We support a wide range of developmental, emotional, behavioural, communication, and neurodevelopmental needs, including:
We accept:
Appointments can be held face to face or online, depending on what works best for your family and any current public health guidance.
We can answer simple questions by email or phone. If you have more detailed questions, we recommend an initial consultation — a 20 minute phone call with one of our professionals.
This call helps us understand your needs and identify the most appropriate assessment or signpost you to a more suitable service if needed.
Before the appointment, we send our terms and conditions and ask you to complete a consent and referral form.
If you already know which assessment you require, you can skip this step and proceed directly to the next stage.
Cost: £150.
We provide assessments to help understand your child’s development, behaviour, and any possible neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD or Autism. These assessments are carried out by experienced professionals working together as a team.
Some families prefer a shorter first step before deciding on a full assessment, so we offer the Developmental and Wellbeing Screening (DAWS).
DAWS is a shorter assessment that helps us understand your child’s needs and whether a full assessment is recommended.
What DAWS Includes:
Important: DAWS alone cannot diagnose ADHD or Autism.
Cost: £1499, including a short summary report for your GP
A detailed, in-depth assessment exploring Autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, sensory needs, trauma, and more.
What the Full Assessment Includes:
Cost: £2342–£3347 (£630 reduction if DAWS already completed).
Please note that where a child has experienced complex developmental trauma, or where their circumstances are particularly complex, an additional charge may apply to allow for a more in-depth assessment.
A supportive assessment carried out by an experienced clinician.
