What happens
Before, during, after.
The mental health rooms are at the quiet end of the first floor with their own waiting space. Anna Lindqvist, BACP-accredited counsellor, offers a first session within the week. Dr Marcus Feld, consultant psychiatrist, is here on Mondays and Fridays for assessment, diagnosis, medication and ADHD.
What happens
- A 20-minute phone call first, free, to make sure we are the right place
- Counselling: 50-minute sessions, weekly or fortnightly, usually six to twelve
- Psychiatry: 90-minute assessment, a written report, medication started and reviewed
- A GP across the corridor for prescriptions and physical checks
If you are in crisis now, call 999 or the Samaritans on 116 123. We are not an emergency service, and we say so because it matters.
Right for
- Anxiety, low mood, stress, burnout
- Grief, relationships, life changes
- Assessment for ADHD or where a diagnosis is unclear
- Medication that needs a specialist to start or review

Questions patients ask
Asked before booking.
Which insurers do you work with?
Bupa, AXA Health, Aviva, Vitality, WPA, Cigna, Healix and Freedom. GP appointments are usually not covered by insurance; consultant departments (dermatology, paediatrics, gynaecology, psychiatry), physiotherapy and diagnostics usually are, with a GP referral, which we write the same morning. Tom checks your pre-authorisation before you are seen.
How do I get my results?
Through your portal, once a clinician has reviewed them. Most blood results are there within 24 hours, ultrasound reports within one working day, smears in 10 working days, histology in 10 working days. Anything abnormal is phoned by the clinician; we never leave a worrying result to be found online.
Can I really be seen today?
Most days, yes. Ring or book online before 10:00 on a weekday and a GP sees you that day; last year 92% of same-day requests were. Two dental emergency slots are kept every morning. Sundays 9:00 to 13:00 are urgent GP only.
What does the price include?
Everything written at the appointment: private prescriptions (medicines at cost), sick notes, fit-to-fly letters, referral letters and the summary in your portal. Tests are priced separately and told to you before they are done.
Where do I park?
Each entrance has its own car park: Station Approach (24 spaces, four blue-badge) for GP and diagnostics, Mill Lane (10, pram-friendly) for children and women's health, and the rear yard on Tanner Street (8) for physio and dental. Two hours free with a code from reception.
