Psychiatric
Assessment

Our compassionate and professional clinicians can provide a comprehensive psychiatric assessment for a variety of mental health conditions

What is a Psychiatric Assessment?

At Harley Street Mental Health we pride ourselves on listening to our service users experiences and creating treatment plans base on their needs.

Our Initial Psychiatric Assessments are conducted by one of our expert clinicians and last around 1 hour.

After this assessment you will be provided with a report outlining the assessment, any diagnosis if this has been made and a proposed treatment plan including recommended follow up.

Unlike most services, we aim to get our reports sent out within 48 hours.
