How to get an assessment

Can anyone recommend someone to help us understand our 5 year old please? I’d like an assessment and advice.
Our 5 year old girl is really struggling. She gets into all these routines that must be stuck to. She really struggles with clothes and shoes, has about 3 outfits to wear (all sleeveless dresses with no frills or anything). Her tantrums are getting worse not better. She screams and screams and screams. Can last an hour of pure fury.

I really need to know if she has any special needs we should do something about and can support her with or if it’s just a phase of being resistant and wanting to be in control.

At school she is fine so I don't think they'd be interested in recommending. I'm happy to go private but just don't know how or who. We're in London.

Thanks for any advice.

Have you spoken to your GP? I would speak to the school as well, it is not uncommon for DC to present differently in different settings.
