Adhd diagnosis for young adults

Hello
Im looking at adhd assessment for a 21 year old who is struggling at university so wasn’t sure which section to put this in. I was looking in the London area but as they seem to be all online I suppose it doesn’t matter where.
there are so many clinics offering this now so it’s difficult to chose and I’m wary of the short assessment for them to make a diagnosis but they must know what they are doing . I would prefer an assessment where a psychiatrist and psychologist are both involved. Can anyone recommend somewhere? Thank you

we have been to the Priory in Putney for a young person to have an assessment done by a psychiatrist, face to face, we moved online after a few appointments.
Psychologists are not allowed to do ADHD assessments, I would suggest you do the ADHD assessment first with a psychiatrist, then the psychologist will have a diagnosis, if confirmed, as part of the file.
