All assessments and treatment are provided by consultant psychiatrists registered with the General Medical Council (GMC).
You will be seen by Dr Popelyuk or one of the clinic’s associate consultant psychiatrists, depending on clinical suitability and availability.
The initial consultation involves a comprehensive psychiatric assessment, including a review of current symptoms, relevant personal and medical history, and previous treatments.
Where appropriate, diagnostic impressions and treatment options will be discussed. Recommendations are based on clinical judgement and available evidence.
Initial psychiatric assessments typically last 50–60 minutes.
Follow-up appointments are usually 30 or 60 minutes, depending on clinical need.
This depends on the nature and complexity of the presentation. In some cases, a diagnosis may be reached following a single assessment.
In others, further appointments may be required to ensure diagnostic accuracy and patient safety.
Secure video consultations are available where clinically appropriate.
