ABOUT THE BURLINGTON CLINIC
At The Burlington Clinic, we specialise in the assessment and management of Adult ADHD within high-performing populations. Led by Consultant Psychiatrist Dr. Saal Seneviratne, our approach moves beyond simple diagnosis to deeply personal clinical investigation.
We focus on reclaiming your executive function and optimising your cognitive potential through precision medicine—not a check-box exercise.
THE CLINICAL REALITY
ADHD in adulthood rarely presents as physical hyperactivity. Instead, it manifests as Executive Dysfunction: a persistent disruption in the brain's "command centre."
Highly capable individuals often find themselves trapped in a cycle that no amount of willpower can break.
This is not a deficit of willpower. It is a biological bottleneck in the prefrontal cortex's ability to regulate attention and arousal. Our Harley Street ADHD assessment provides the clinical clarity needed to break this cycle.
Feeling unable to initiate high-priority work despite clear objectives and deep motivation.
Intense "hyper-focus" on novel tasks, followed by an inability to sustain attention on routine but essential responsibilities.
Heightened frustration or burnout caused by the constant effort of "masking" symptoms in professional environments.
Working late hours or relying on adrenaline to meet deadlines, leading to chronic exhaustion and burnout.
THE SCIENCE
In the ADHD brain, the neural pathways responsible for planning and sustained focus often lack a consistent supply of key neurotransmitters, specifically Dopamine and Norepinephrine.
Without sufficient dopamine levels, the brain constantly seeks new stimulation to maintain arousal. This makes low-stimulation tasks feel physically taxing.
Our assessments provide a deep-dive into these biological factors, looking at how your neurochemistry interacts with your professional and personal environment.
Diagnosis is a tool for clarity. Every patient receives a comprehensive management strategy tailored to their unique neurobiological profile.
A three-pillar approach to ensure the most comprehensive, clinically robust, and personally relevant diagnostic outcome possible.
We utilise the DIVA-5 Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in Adults. This comprehensive, GMC-standard clinical interview meticulously examines symptoms across your childhood and current adult life to ensure a robust, legally recognised lifetime diagnosis.
ADHD rarely exists in isolation. We screen for "masking" behaviours and co-occurring conditions such as Anxiety, Depression, Burnout, or Sleep Disorders that can mimic or complicate ADHD, ensuring your treatment plan addresses the full clinical picture.
A diagnosis is a tool for clarity. We provide a bespoke management strategy that may include pharmacological optimisation, neuro-restorative protocols, and practical executive-function coaching tailored to your lifestyle.
STEP BY STEP
To maintain the highest level of care and convenience, we offer flexible assessment environments designed around your schedule and clinical needs.
Complete validated screening tools and history forms via our secure portal. This ensures our time together is spent on deep clinical insight rather than administrative data collection.
A comprehensive 120-minute diagnostic session with Dr. Saal. This is conducted in-person at our Harley Street Clinic, providing the depth of inquiry that remote consultation cannot offer.
Within 7 days, you will receive a formal medical document recognised by GPs and employers for workplace adjustments or continued private care.
A follow-up session to discuss your bespoke roadmap, whether that involves medication management, integrated therapy, or lifestyle optimisation tailored to your cognitive profile.
TAKE THE FIRST STEP
We prioritise clinical suitability to ensure the highest standard of psychiatric care. Because a diagnosis requires a comprehensive medical review, we do not offer automated bookings.
