Psychiatrist for Anxiety - Dr Musa Sami

Is this Anxiety Assessment Right for YOU?

  • You feel persistently anxious, on edge, or overwhelmed without a clear explanation
  • Anxiety is affecting sleep, work, relationships, or daily functioning
  • Previous reassurance, self-help, or therapy hasn’t fully helped
  • You want a clear psychiatric opinion, diagnosis, and medical guidance

What Actually Happens During the 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.

A Psychiatric Assessment — Not Just a Screening

This is a full psychiatric assessment carried out by an experienced consultant psychiatrist.

It goes beyond questionnaires or brief checklists to explore symptoms in clinical depth, consider differential diagnoses, and apply formal diagnostic criteria where appropriate.

This assessment is designed to provide clarity, not assumptions — and to support informed, evidence-based decisions about next steps.

Your Consultant Psychiatrist for Anxiety

Dr Musa Sami has extensive experience in the psychiatric assessment of anxiety disorders across a wide range of presentations, including cases where symptoms are persistent, complex, or difficult to define.

As a consultant psychiatrist, Dr Sami specialises in comprehensive diagnostic assessment rather than brief screening or checklist-based approaches. His focus is on understanding anxiety symptoms in clinical context, considering contributing psychological, biological, and situational factors, and applying formal diagnostic criteria where appropriate.

Assessments are unhurried, confidential, and carried out with care and professionalism. The emphasis is on clear clinical reasoning, transparent discussion of findings, and practical guidance patients can trust when deciding on next steps.

Common Questions About
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.
Will I be prescribed medication?
Medication is not prescribed automatically. Any recommendation is based on a careful psychiatric assessment, discussion of risks and benefits, and your preferences. In some cases, medication is not indicated at all.
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 or medication?
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.
