How We Work - The Initial Consultation

All work with a client begins with an initial consultation with an MHWS specialist such as a Psychiatrist, a Psychotherapist or a combination of more than one depending on the type of assessment being undertaken.

Working with a new client requires that we understand their individual needs and therefore even though a client may have a pre-existing diagnosis, which we are to either support or take over the management of, we will still have to get to know you as an individual so that we can offer the best support. At least in part this is because an individual's needs change in time and so does the science of identifying conditions and application of treatments and therapies.

During your consultation we endeavour to make you feel as comfortable and at ease as possible, whether you are at our clinical practice or at distance via an online / remote appointment.

During the consultation, usually towards the end, and depending on the type of assessment then a discussion regarding available treatments may be had. The specialist will introduce these and discuss the options and availability and any steps needed to progress.
