Specialist mental health, ADHD and autism care

CQC registered · Multidisciplinary care · Online and in person

UMID is a CQC-registered multidisciplinary mental health practice offering assessment, treatment and therapeutic support for children, young people and adults.

We provide in-person appointments in Hampshire and secure online care across England.

Care that starts with understanding

People come to UMID when they need clarity. You may be looking for an ADHD or autism assessment, support with anxiety or low mood, help for your child, therapy, medication review, occupational therapy input, or a joined-up plan where difficulties overlap.

Trauma-informed support for adopted children and parents

Multidisciplinary assessment and ongoing therapy · Adopted children, young people and their families · In person in Hampshire or online

Adopted children have usually lived through separation, neglect or abuse before they arrived, and often adversity that began before birth. Those experiences shape how a child manages strong feelings, whether they can trust adults and how they cope in a classroom. They are easily mistaken for wilfulness, or for a neurodevelopmental condition on its own.

We assess the whole picture rather than the presenting problem. A consultant psychiatrist, a psychological therapist, a clinical psychologist and an occupational therapist each contribute, the previous records are read and set alongside the school's account, and the team agrees the findings together. Where therapy follows, we provide it ourselves.

How it works

You can contact us via our website, phone or email with a short description of the support you need.

We offer a free 15-minute call with our Clinical Director to discuss your needs and the type of assessment or support likely to be most useful.

Why choose UMID

Careful assessment

We take time to understand the full picture, not just a list of symptoms. This includes getting to know you, what is important for you and your goals and objectives.

Multidisciplinary perspective

Some people need more than one professional view. UMID brings together clinicians from psychiatry, psychology, therapy, occupational therapy and wider mental health practice.

Clear formulation

A diagnosis can be helpful, but it is not always enough. We aim to explain what may be driving the difficulty, what is maintaining it, and what is likely to help.

Practical recommendations

We focus on useful next steps. This may include treatment options, therapy recommendations, reasonable adjustments, school or workplace suggestions, medication advice, or guidance for families.

Who we support

We work with:

  • Adults and children seeking mental health, ADHD or autism assessment
  • Children and young people needing emotional, behavioural or developmental support
  • Parents looking for clarity about their child’s needs
  • People with overlapping mental health and neurodevelopmental difficulties
  • Families needing joined-up advice
  • Professionals seeking a specialist opinion or treatment plan

Meet the team

UMID is a multidisciplinary practice. Our clinicians include consultant psychiatrists, psychologists, psychological therapists, a family therapist, an occupational therapist, mental health nurses and other experienced mental health professionals.

Each clinician brings specific expertise, but we share a common approach: careful assessment, clear communication and practical recommendations.

Fees and appointments

We aim to be clear about fees before appointments are arranged. The cost depends on the type of assessment, the professional involved and the level of report or follow-up required.

You can view our current fees or contact us if you are unsure which appointment is most appropriate.

Umid are really welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. My children really look forward to coming each week to see Eve. She is great with them and always provides me with feedback after each session. I would highly recommend them.

I found the session really helpful to consider practical strategies for managing summer holidays. The presenters shared useful examples and explanations. I liked that it included practical and clear steps to follow and remember. I also felt the presenters were really understanding and encouraging.

Georgie · Trustpilot · July 2026

★★★★☆

UMID carried out a very thorough assessment and have tried really hard to engage my daughter and go at her pace. They have also liaised with school which was very helpful. It is early days at the moment but I’m hopeful it will have an impact and help her and our family.
