Dr. Warlow’s extensive background includes working within the NHS and The Priory, where she honed her expertise and recognised the need for dedicated private services in neurodevelopmental care.

At The Nook Neurodevelopmental Clinic, we believe in celebrating the strengths and brilliance of the individuals we meet,” said Dr. Warlow. “Our goal is to provide not only assessments but also ongoing support to help improve emotional wellbeing and empower our clients.”

“There is a rapidly increasing need for assessments in the UK. Fuelled by media coverage and people openly sharing their diagnosis, awareness and understanding of neurodivergent disorders is growing. We have seen this reflected in interest in The Nook Clinic, with website visits having increased by 297% in the past 12 months alone.”

The clinic takes pride in its evidence based approach and practice, adhering to the assessment protocols outlined by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Utilising the DSM-5 criteria for diagnosing ADHD and ASD, combined with clinical expertise and observations, The Nook Clinic ensures accurate and tailored diagnoses, as well as offering  post-diagnostic support following assessment, as Dr Warlow and the team recognise that ongoing support is also key.
