CONSULTATION

Consultation:

When you have any sort of medical problem you may choose to pay for the opinion of a specialist doctor directly. Perhaps you have been been through the NHS mental health system and you would now like a second opinion, or maybe you have tried to access NHS mental health services via your GP and found them wanting. Whatever is troubling you, we have a specialist psychiatrist who will give you a diagnosis, a considered advice and the best suitable treatment.
CONSULTATION


Mental health difficulties are often a manifestation of health related, psychological or social difficulties. The difficulties emerge due to complex combination of factors including genetics, psychological tendencies, support network, environmental and social changes.
Treatment for mental health problems involves a combination of symptomatic relief, understanding of causes, improving resilience, identifying strengths and warning signs before discharge so we are better prepared in the future.
I use bespoke treatment approaches that work for each person using a combination of psychological and medical approaches. Identifying the best treatment plan facilitates the best treatment outcome.
