Dyslexia assessments now available in Surrey with HealthCare In Mind
Many children miss out on vital dyslexia support
HealthCare In Mind has launched a new dyslexia assessment service in Surrey. The private service offers expert assessments for children up to 16 years old, without needing a GP referral. Parents can now secure an official diagnosis and unlock tailored support for their child’s learning needs.
According to the British Dyslexia Association, around 10% of the UK population has dyslexia. Around 4% experience it severely. Despite this, up to 80% of children finish school without a diagnosis. Without one, schools often don’t provide the adjustments children need to reach their potential.
To address this gap, HealthCare In Mind now offers timely, reliable assessments to help children thrive at school. A diagnosis not only supports learning but also improves confidence and mental wellbeing.
A trusted team offering more than dyslexia assessments
HealthCare In Mind provides other assessments for neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD and autism. These services are available for both children and adults. The team also offers therapy for conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD and mood disorders.
Led by Dr Simon Le Clerc MStJ and Dr Kate Higham, HealthCare In Mind brings together psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists. They provide expert care without long waiting times. The team aims to make high-quality mental health support accessible and stress-free.
Dr Le Clerc explains that many children with dyslexia struggle unnecessarily. “Dyslexia does not affect intelligence,” he says. “But it does impact how a child reads, writes and processes information. Without a diagnosis, they miss the classroom support and accommodations that can make a huge difference.”
The assessments take place in a calm, supportive environment. Certified assessors ensure a smooth process and provide full diagnostic reports.
