The Nook Clinic expands to Northamptonshire a new beacon of hope for ADHD and Autism diagnosis and support
Following the success of its flagship clinic in Farnham and its recent London and Oxford expansion, The Nook Clinic is proud to announce the opening of its newest location in Northamptonshire, UK. Led by the esteemed Dr Selina Warlow, this expansion underscores the clinic’s ongoing commitment to providing exceptional care and support for those with ADHD and Autism.
Rising Need Meets Unmet Demand
Waiting lists for ADHD and Autism services in Northamptonshire have almost doubled over the past three years. Recent NHS data reveal an average wait of 530 days, which equates to nearly 1.5 years, for an initial assessment, up from 287 days in 2022 ( northantstelegraph.co.uk). County-wide assessments now take over a year, with autism diagnosis waits stretching into multi-year limbo for many families .
Nationally, more than 212,000 people in England were waiting for an autism assessment at the end of 2024, a 23% increase in just one year ( autism.org.uk). For ADHD, around 549,000 patients faced assessment delays in March 2025, up a third from the year before ( ft.com).
About the New Clinic
Opening Location: The Nook Clinic, Kettering Northamptonshire.
Services Offered: Comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic services for ADHD and Autism for ages 5+, including:

A Compassionate, Streamlined Approach
Patients begin with an initial specialist consultation, followed by a bespoke assessment pathway tailored to each individual’s needs. This ensures accurate diagnoses and timely access to personalised support plans.
“Bringing The Nook Clinic to Northampton isn’t just about expansion, it’s about delivering high‑quality, accessible care to the local community,” explains Dr Warlow. “We aim to support individuals at home, school, and beyond.”
The clinic will also attract top experts and foster a collaborative environment, further strengthening its hallmark of personalised, evidence-based care.
Innovation at the Core
As NHS services are under pressure from rising demand, private providers like The Nook Clinic play a vital role in meeting community needs. By integrating the latest assessment tools and collaborating with local allies, the Northampton clinic will help reduce diagnostic delays and advance neurodevelopmental care practices.
