I was worried about not being taken seriously as an outwardly successful adult requesting an assessment for ADHD for the first time at age 37! I needn't have worried. Dr Cubbin was warm and welcoming and obviously an expert in her field. The assessment was very thorough, with interviews with my fiancé and mother. Diagnosis was confirmed at the actual assessment and medication recommended and explained in full. 5 weeks on and I can't believe the difference this has made to my life. For the first time in years, I feel I am actually coping with life, my moods are more stable and I am 'on top' of things both at home and at work! I have had regular follow up calls with Dr Cubbin in the weeks following my appointment and the report provided to my GP was very detailed. As such, my GP had no issues with continuing with the medication recommendations she outlined. Thank you!

I was diagnosed with ADHD by Dr Sally Cubbin when in my late 40s. All my life I knew I was a bit different from my friends and colleagues, but I never really understood why until I met someone who has ADHD and realised I’d met a kindred spirit. My mother took me to see our family GP when I was a kid, but he just told her I’d grow out of my odd behaviour. As an adult, my GP is neither interested in, nor understands, ADHD and couldn’t see beyond ‘stress’ as a diagnosis, but fortunately I found Dr Cubbin after doing a random web search and I am SO grateful that I did. I psyched myself up for my first consultation because I didn’t know what to expect and was a bit nervous, but Dr Cubbin couldn’t have been nicer. She is very professional, but has the perfect persona for dealing with people with ADHD. She listens, is non-judgemental, is very natural and is easy to talk to. At the end of my first consultation (which consisted of me doing some questionnaires followed by an in-depth and long discussion with her), she confirmed my suspicion and diagnosed me with ADHD and it was such a relief to know what my problem is. Dr Cubbin talked me through my options going forwards and I decided to try medication. At no point did Dr Cubbin push the medication option, but since I chose that option, she was happy to patiently work with me until I found the medication type and dose that suited me. I now take medication intermittently when my alternative coping mechanisms aren’t sufficient and I need to get back on track again and Dr Cubbin is always happy to advise and support. Her approach seems to be to work in collaboration with her patients – or at least that’s how it feels to me; I’ve never felt awkward when talking to her. I can honestly say that she has made a big difference to my life and my only regret is that I didn’t see her years sooner. I absolutely recommend Dr Cubbin to anyone who has, or thinks they may have ADHD. I’ve been a patient of Dr Cubbin’s for six years now and I am so grateful that I found her. I was lucky when I selected her from the internet by chance, so it is good to be able to comment here in the hope that this is helpful to someone who is going through what I went through six years ago and may be unsure of who to see.

Dr sally Cubbin changed the trajectory of my life for the better. I visited her at the priory and i was diagnosed with ADHD. She listened to me, so that i was able to share sensitive information and not feel i had things to hide (frank conversations about past substance use ect...) It's hard to describe how much she's helped me through starting treatment and receiving a diagnosis. I used to flit from one job to another being fired. I was extremely disorganized and always wondering what i'd forgot or who i might have let down, I was in awe of how most people did these "easy" tasks that i seemed to be failing at. my self esteem was low. But after treatment, i can now hold down jobs, i look forward to work, i feel competent and useful, like my opinions matter and that i can contribute something positive to the future. Before starting treatment my career goals were "don't get fired". Now i look forward to the future, and all the things i could be and do in my work life. I hope this review helps anyone experiencing diagnosed ADHD find treatment.

As a mother of a son of 32 yrs who I have always suspected had ADHD, or if not ADHD a problem of some sort. To finally find someone not only to listen to you but also believe in what your saying, was beyond words for our family. We were all very apprehensive about our appointment no more so than our son, who was very nervous. We had no need. Dr Cubbin came out and asked Matthew if he wanted to be seen on his own or with us first. He had decided he needed to go in on his own and get it all off his chest, he looked petrified. He came out to get us looking much better. When my husband and I went in we were allowed to talk about all the problems we had been having, which as these sufferers get older get a lot worse. We felt this was our only hope. Dr Cubbin was wonderful she listened to us all, and asked questions where needed. We were then told Matthew did indeed have Severe ADHD. No need to say this was a very emotional moment for our family. we felt we could look forward to Matthew leading a more normal life. Please if you think your child is suffering do not give up. Dr Cubbin can help you. We will be forever grateful.

I was extremely nervous about getting an ADHD assessment, and was anxious that it would be a long drawn out procedure. All I can say is that I am so glad that I saw Dr Cubbin. This honestly has to be one of the best things I have ever done as an adult. The process was made very easy by her and her team, and they were very flexible. She was extremely easy to talk to, non judgemental, extremely professional and incredibly competent. The fee for the assessment is a tremendous bargain for the care that she provides. I wish there were more health professionals like her, I could not recommend her enough!
