What our clients say

I was nervous before my assessment, but within minutes I was made to feel at ease. My questions were answered quickly and the report was in-depth. A very positive experience—I’d definitely recommend Autism Kent.

The team at Autism Kent were welcoming and thorough. Dr Robb’s warm, empathetic approach created a safe space for our daughter during her ADHD assessment. We highly recommend her.

Immensely grateful for the support and guidance I received from Autism Kent. From the moment we reached out to them, their professionalism and expertise were evident. The team made the diagnostic process manageable, listened to our concerns, and gave invaluable insights into our daughter's needs.

Can't thank Autism Kent enough for the positive impact they've had on our lives. If you're seeking assistance for diagnosis or support, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to them. Their dedication to helping families like mine is truly remarkable.

We can highly recommend Dr Robb and her team at Autism Kent. We were guided through the process of ascertaining a diagnosis for our teenage son. The interviews and questions were professionally delivered but in a very gentle and kind manner to ameliorate stress for him and for us as parents.

Waited years for an assessment. It was easy, straightforward, and Isobel was lovely. Getting this diagnosis has helped me get the support I need—thank you.

Excellent service—professional, empathetic, and tailored perfectly to my needs. I was made to feel at ease throughout, with fantastic communication and feedback.
