Our Treatment Approach
Comprehensive Assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough psychiatric evaluation. We take the time to understand your symptoms, personal history, family background, and current life circumstances. This comprehensive approach ensures accurate diagnosis and forms the foundation for effective treatment planning.

We carefully consider the benefits and potential side effects of any medication, monitoring your response and adjusting treatment as needed. Medication is always prescribed in conjunction with supportive therapy and lifestyle recommendations.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
