Our service
A private psychiatric assessment helps you understand what might be driving how you feel, and what support options could help. It involves an evidence based clinical assessment, including a detailed conversation about your current symptoms, your history, and how things are affecting your day-to-day life. Where appropriate, the specialist clinician may provide a diagnosis, or a clear summary of possible causes, alongside personalised recommendations.
We may ask you to complete diagnostic and background questionnaires before your appointment. These help your specialist clinician build a fuller picture and make best use of your assessment time.
Sometimes, further information or specialist assessment is needed before a diagnosis can be confirmed. Your specialist clinician will explain this clearly if it applies.
