Consultant Psychiatrist

What is a consultant psychiatrist?

A consultant psychiatrist is a medically trained professional with a background in medicine, who has chosen to specialise in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health disorders. A consultant psychiatrist will work with people suffering with psychiatric illnesses at all points on the spectrum. If you have been advised to seek a consultant psychiatrist for yourself, your child or a loved one, call our clinic to make an appointment.

Working with a consultant psychiatrist

Working with a consultant psychiatrist will initially involve an assessment of the patient’s condition and their needs. Follow-on sessions will typically involve a course of treatment to review the patient’s progress and to generally see how they are getting on. If a course of tablets has been prescribed then the psychiatrist will review how the patient is managing with them and consider whether to increase the dosage.
