About This Service

What is a Psychiatric Consultation?

A psychiatric consultation is a comprehensive clinical assessment carried out by a qualified consultant psychiatrist. Unlike a GP appointment, it is an in-depth conversation that explores your mental health history, current symptoms, life circumstances and goals, giving us a full picture of your well-being.

At Mente Calma, our consultations are led by Dr. Adetutu Kunuji, a consultant psychiatrist with over a decade of experience in NHS mental health services and private practice. Every session is confidential, unhurried and tailored to you.

Initial Assessment

Your first session is a thorough assessment lasting 60 to 90 minutes. We will explore your history, current concerns, and what you hope to achieve from treatment.

Together, we will agree a care plan. This may include therapy, medication, lifestyle recommendations, or a combination, based on your individual needs and preferences.
