Not a problem surprised I can help anyone lol.

all the same here is another bit of code that will output hours and minutes rather than decimal time.

		 <?php
			$starttime = get_field( 'consultation_start_time' );
			$endtime = get_field( 'consultation_end_time' );
			$starttimestamp = strtotime($starttime);
			$endtimestamp = strtotime($endtime);
			$difference = abs($endtimestamp - $starttimestamp);

			echo "Duration in time: " . date("h:i", $difference)."</br></br>";
?> 

PLUS

This version will output decimal time to only 2 decimal places.

<?php
			  // Get field values (these will be updated in real-time)
			  $starttime = get_field( 'consultation_start_time' );
			  $endtime = get_field( 'consultation_end_time' );

			  // Calculate the sum of the current field values
			$starttimestamp = strtotime($starttime);
				$endtimestamp = strtotime($endtime);
				$difference = abs($endtimestamp - $starttimestamp)/3600;

			  // Display the sum in the calculated field
			  echo "Duration decimal time: " . number_format ( $difference,2 ) . ' hrs<br><small>NB - Number is a decimal of hours and minutes<br><br></small>';
			?>
