You should note that all
treatments that I offer are strictly on an out-patient basis. I do not have
admission rights to any private or public hospitals in the UK. Should you
require in-patient treatment at any point in time, you should arrange this
with your GP and Insurance.
I do not normally provide
private prescriptions of medication unless it is a psychiatric emergency. In
all other cases, if I think you may benefit from medication treatment I can,
at your request, write to your GP with my recommendations.
Services:
Diagnostic
psychodynamic assessment:
this is a prerequisite prior to any treatment being suggested and commenced.
The process lasts between 2-4 hours, usually arranged between 2-3 sessions.
Psychiatric
consultations:
this is for people who have completed the psychodynamic assessment and
require psychiatric follow-ups and medication reviews. They can be taken
independently or, if indicated, be combined with psychotherapy/counselling.
The frequency of appointments is determined by you but you should be able to
commit to at least 6 appointments for any meaningful change (or
stabilisation) to be expected. Each consultation lasts approximately 50
minutes.
Substance-dependence consultations:
whether you have developed dependence to illicit drugs and/or alcohol or you
have been on prescribed psychiatric medication and you have difficulties
discontinuing them, I may be able to assist you with overcoming such
problems. You will need to be prepared to commit to fortnightly sessions for
a minimum period of four months. We will review your progress after that
and, depending on the results achieved, formulate a plan to progress
further/prevent a relapse. This program can be taken independently or in
combination with brief psychodynamic therapy. Each consultation lasts 50
minutes.
