Is this Anxiety Assessment Right for YOU?

What Actually Happens During the Anxiety Assessment?
The aim of this anxiety assessment is to understand the underlying nature of your anxiety and how it affects you.
The assessment focuses on clarifying whether your symptoms meet criteria for an anxiety disorder and what that means clinically.
During the assessment, we will:
- • Explore your current symptoms - including anxious thoughts, physical symptoms, avoidance behaviours, and how long these have been present
- • Review relevant background - personal history, life events, physical health, and any previous mental health input
- • Understand impact and patterns - how anxiety affects work, relationships, sleep, and daily functioning
- • Reach clinical conclusions - with a clear explanation of findings and discussion of appropriate next steps
Questions and concerns are addressed during the consultation, with a clear explanation of clinical conclusions and treatment options.

Common Questions About
Anxiety Assessment
Anxiety Assessment
Do I need a GP referral for anxiety assessment?
No. You can book a private anxiety assessment directly without a GP referral. If helpful, a summary of the assessment can be shared with your GP with your consent.
What if my symptoms don’t clearly fit one anxiety diagnosis?
Not all anxiety presentations fit neatly into a single category. Part of the assessment involves exploring symptoms in context, considering overlapping or contributing factors, and reaching a clinically reasoned conclusion rather than forcing a label.
What happens after the anxiety assessment?
You will receive a clear explanation of the clinical findings and recommended next steps. This may include reassurance, treatment options, further monitoring, or advice about psychological therapies or medication where appropriate.
Is this assessment suitable if I’ve already tried therapy?
Yes. Many people seek a psychiatric assessment after previous treatments have not fully helped. The focus is on understanding why symptoms have persisted and what options may be appropriate moving forward.
