A thorough, unhurried clinical picture of your circumstances — carried out by a BABCP accredited therapist and NMC registered mental health nurse — so you leave with clarity and a clear plan, not just a leaflet.
A Mental Health Assessment is a structured, in-depth conversation designed to build an accurate understanding of your current difficulties, their history, and how they're affecting your day-to-day life. It's often the first step for anyone unsure where to begin, or looking for clarity before committing to a course of therapy.
Every assessment is carried out personally by Arlene Alexander-Price — an NMC registered mental health nurse since 2004 and a BABCP accredited therapist of close to two decades' standing — and draws on validated, evidence-based tools rather than a generic checklist.
