Expert Private Psychiatric and Psychological Care in Cornwall | General Adult, ADHD and Autism Assessments
Discover CQC-registered specialist psychiatric and psychological care in Cornwall, led by Dr. Claudia Murton, NHS Consultant Psychiatrist. Our clinical team provides expert assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment to help you understand your mental health and make meaningful changes.
Mission & Values
Porthia Clinic is a CQC-registered private mental health clinic in Cornwall. Dr. Claudia Murton, Consultant Psychiatrist and Clinical Director, and Dr. Eleanor Ley, Educational Psychologist, work in collaboration to deliver expert assessments across adult psychiatry, ADHD and autism. Together, our clinical team combines medical rigour with a genuinely personalised approach to care.
Assessments You Can Trust
Private ADHD and autism assessments vary enormously in quality. Porthia is CQC-registered and follows NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) guidelines — the same clinical standards applied in NHS practice. Dr. Murton is a fully qualified NHS Consultant Psychiatrist with over 20 years’ medical and mental health experience. Assessments are thorough, unhurried, and include corroborative history-taking. Our assessments benefit from the involvement of Dr. Eleanor Ley, our Educational Psychologist, with over 15 years experience she brings specialist expertise in neurodiversity, post-diagnostic support, and educational and occupational impact. Where appropriate, assessments draw on both psychiatric and psychological perspectives, giving you a more complete clinical picture and treatment plan. We do not offer quick or rushed assessments.

Reviews
Set in a very peaceful venue with great views of Hayle estuary. My appointment was arranged within days so I was glad not to be kept waiting. Dr. Murton is very knowledgeable and a well respected clinician. Her approach is caring and compassionate and she is extremely thorough gaining a lot of information from me in a short space of time. It's the first time that I felt listened to and validated and she is the most professional Consultant Psychiatrist I have seen and a full mental health assessment was completed I feel for the first time. Her ongoing diagnosis and treatment plan gave me a lot of hope that I can finally move forward and get on with my life. It's a shame that I haven't received this help directly from the NHS but I believe this private consultation was worth the expense. I would recommend the Porthia mental health clinic to anyone who wants an honest and fair assessment and treatment plan by a highly experienced clinician especially as DR. Murton has a Liason Psychiatry role within the NHS which is what bought me to this clinic. Money well spent thank you.
I saw Dr Murton for an assessment for autism. Her questions were very thorough. I am hoping that, as a result of this meeting and the online questionnaires that I and my sister completed, Dr Murton will be able to help me better understand and manage my mental health issues.
I have found Porthia Clinic to be a safe, patient-centred practice that is guided by NICE recommendations and always puts the patient's best interests at the heart of its care.
Dr.Murton listens carefully to patients and has a reassuring approach.
Attended with son for ADHD assessment. I spent first 10 minutes with Dr Murton & my son and provided background history on childhood / adolescence. Then left the two together for about 80 minutes. Was called in again by Dr Murton at the end of the appointment for a brief review of the consultation and her initial thoughts on the likely diagnosis.
I found the whole experience so very positive in a lovely relaxed environment. A great deal of ground was covered and I have been in need of this experience and help for some time. Thank you.
