Welcome to Autism Kent - trusted, gold standard assessments and support

Dr Isobel Robb (Clinical Psychologist) and her team would like to welcome you to the Autism Kent website. We are a team of highly experienced clinicians specialising in neurodiversity. We offer autism and ADHD diagnostic assessments and 1-1 therapy sessions for children (age 8+) and adults. We will work with you collaboratively to develop a shared understanding of your strengths, differences and challenges. 

Our diagnostic assessments are compliant with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines, and are recognised by the NHS, school, colleges and other organisations.

We are experienced in identifying autism in females, which is often overlooked or misdiagnosed. 

We promise you a responsive service, clear communication, and a streamlined process - from your first enquiry through to the final stage of your assessment or therapy. 

We're based in the coastal town of Whitstable, Kent, being easily accessible from London and across the South East. For those of you who live elsewhere in the UK or are unable to travel we also offer appointments online. We are always happy to answer any questions so please don't hesitate to get in touch. 

What you can expect from us

  • Short waiting times
  • Consistent clinician support - Your assessment journey is led by one professional from start to finish, helping you feel supported at every stage. 
  • Quick report turnaround - Our final reports are typically delivered within 1-2 weeks.
  • Flexible, local appointments - Assessments and consultations are available in person at our welcoming Whitstable clinic or remotely via secure online video calls (when appropriate).
  • Multi-disciplinary input
  • A truly neuroaffirmative approach - We focus on understanding and celebrating neurodiversity rather than pathologising it.
  • Dedicated follow up - a one-to-one follow up appointment is included in every assessment, giving you the chance to discuss our recommendations, ask questions, and feel confident about the next steps.

We are guided by a commitment to quality, compassion, and respect in everything we do. You will always receive a warm, individualised service from a dedicated team who genuinely care. We will be considerate about your sensory and communication needs as we want you to feel as comfortable as possible while you are here. There are various ways we are able to accomodate your needs - examples include providing a quiet, uninterrupted space for you to sit during breaks, providing fidget objects, and ensuring the lighting is kept at a low level. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to try to make your experience more comfortable.

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.
