MENTAL HEALTH
Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attacks, Sleep Problems ...?
Your Consultation
By working through your case history by listening, and asking you questions related to what you are doing now, and importantly what your diet and lifestyle has been, we are able to see a bigger picture of your mental health. This is what makes our approach fully individualised.
Food & Mood Diary
Honest information about what you currently eat daily, and how you feel after a meal – including your sleep patterns each night – are vital in understanding your health when your case is reviewed.
Please click below and fill in at least 3-4 days of the Food & Mood diary prior to your appointment.
Looking After Your Mental Wellbeing is the Best Decision You Could Ever Make.
There is no longer a stigma attached to mental health. If you have been thinking of finding ways to improve your mood, it may indicate (however big or small the issue), that it is having a negative impact on your overall health, wellbeing and life.
This is the right place to find some answers, learn skills, and get support for long-lasting changes.
Blood Test &
Medication List
Blood tests are important along side of your case history, so please bring any copies taken within the last 6-12 months, and a list of current medications and/or over-the-counter products you take.
It will be important to get more bloods done in the future.
Existing blood tests can be requested through your GP's clinic front desk (sometimes a small charge to have them printed).
In the future, we can work with your GP to possibly get new bloods, OR we can give you a form to take to your local PathLab.

If this is difficult to do, then please book and we can discuss more at your appointment.
