PRIVATE CONSULTATION
Offering in-depth, assessments to help identify your problem and aiming to undertake a suitable treatment programme competently and confidentially >>
A private psychiatric consultation with Dr Richard Bunn lasts approximately 50 minutes. During this initial assessment a full history will be taken in relation to symptoms, current circumstances, family background and physical health.
The assessment is followed by a full in-depth discussion of the available treatment options that may be beneficial. These include supportive counselling, specific therapeutic interventions and/or medication. A private psychiatry follow-up appointment will be offered if required. All questions regarding treatment options will be discussed before agreeing a management plan and the way forward.
Occasionally it may be necessary for a second opinion to be sought e.g. from a neurologist or cardiologist if physical health problems are suspected. This will be discussed with you before making a referral. Blood tests or scans may also be required, as some psychiatric conditions can be caused by physical illness.
