An accurate assessment conducted by an expert in that field, using multiple sources of credible evidence and thorough interpretation will provide you a narrative and explanation for your challenges and difficulties you face. If the symptoms you experience are impacting your life, you should consider an assessment. 

Medication is not the only strategy for managing mental health conditions. We always recommend a multifactorial 360 degree approach, incorporating sleep optimisation, diet/nutrition, movement, stress management, coaching, psychological intervention, psychoeducation and implementing adjustments at home, school and at work. 

We always encourage sharing your report and assessment findings with your GP, so that they are fully aware of your condition and treatment. You are of course under no obligation to consent to share this information, as some clients prefer to keep their private assessment private. In this event, we have to caveat that we may have to share information in the event of any possible risk to self or others. 

We provide extensive reporting which is individualised to you. Our assessment and reporting process exceeds the standards set by NICE. 

We have been in existence as a CQC registered provider for 5 years and are medically led by our consultant psychiatrist Dr Raffi and managed by our clinical nurse specialist Mr Daniel Parr. We have no plans to disband and change the services we provide. In the unlikely event of any catastrophic event, the service was to close, as clinically responsible individuals both Dr Raffi and Mr Parr would have a moral and ethical responsibility to effectively transfer services to another provider, or discharge to the GP, if appropriate. We would never abandon our clients. 

We make no secret of the fact that we are a private service and therefore our services are commissioned by private individuals, academic institutions or 3rd sector charities. Our agenda is not led by financial gain, but to provide high quality services that make a difference. We have to generate revenue to run our services for our clients. If we were solely about financial gain, we would not provide pro-bono services to those that are struggling financially. 8% of our revenue is channelled into providing pro-bono services to those who need it most.
