Hi
I'm 47 yrs old and have recently been refused by the NHS to even go on there waiting list for diagnosis.
I was thinking of going private but I'm worried about who is qualified to carry out the test.
Is it only psychologists who are qualified to diagnose? I am in touch with a cbt therapist who said she is qualified to assess but I'm not sure if she is legit.

Thank you Martin for your reply. Much appreciated! I have since been in contact again they have told me that after the initial assesment with a nurse and psychotherapis, I am then seen by a psychologist if necessary I guess. Just so anxious about parting with so much cash and being scammed
Psychology UK, where I got my diagnosis, does both private and NHS-funded online assessments. I think the cost is £900.
