Autism & ADHD Assessment Testimonials
"I had a great experience at Join Psychology. I was looking for a private, initial consultation to get a professional opinion regarding autism. Dr Coombs was great throughout. I had lots of questions beforehand, which she answered patiently and clearly and I was able to see her quickly. The initial consultation was also very good. I found Dr Coombs (Jo) to be friendly and approachable, but also professional throughout - a great balance! Many thanks Jo for your help".

"I have recently completed an adult autism (ASC) assessment with Dr Jo Coombs and Harriet Hunter at Join Psychology. It was a very positive experience. I spent a lot of time researching autism assessment options before choosing Join Psychology. I am aware that autism in women is often underdiagnosed, and the fact that clinicians at Join Psychology have specific expertise in this area gave me confidence. I also appreciated that Join Psychology are explicitly LGBTQ+ affirmative. Jo and Harriet were extremely friendly, supportive, and reassuring. Throughout the process, emphasis was placed on affirmative ways of understanding autism while also appreciating difficulties that can arise if you are a neurodivergent person. The process was also extremely thorough and comprehensive, which gives me confidence in the diagnostic outcome. I was impressed with the final report, which was detailed, helpful and constructive in terms of speaking to the diagnostic criteria while also foregrounding strengths related to autism. I felt that the language used in the report (and throughout our meetings) was supportive and validating even when talking about more difficult experiences. Overall, I am extremely grateful to have worked with Jo and Harriet and can highly recommend Join Psychology".
Review by former client, Jana.
"I discovered Join Psychology when navigating the National Autistic Society website under the “Autism service directory” and then carrying out my own research too. It didn’t take me long to realise that this was the place for me! Jo and her team were wonderful for me to be able to untangle and navigate my own personal complexities. I knew how I felt, but I never really could understand why I felt the way I did at times. Every time I came away from Jo I left with a sense of feeling understood. Jo helped me so much to figure things out. Join Psychology carry out a thorough range of comprehensive discussions and assessments over a series of weeks wrapped up within a very calming and relaxing environment. I highly recommend Jo and her team. You are treated as an individual and not a number. Thank you once again Jo and to all your team. I can’t thank you enough!".
