Dr. McCann takes a compassionate, individualised approach to mental health care. From your first consultation through ongoing support, you’ll receive clear guidance and personalised treatment designed specifically for your situation.
The process is designed to offer a clear, supportive pathway from diagnosis through to ongoing treatment, to ensure you receive the help you need.
Your treatment begins with an initial consultation where Dr McCann will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms, history, and overall health. This detailed assessment ensures your care is tailored to your unique circumstances and needs.
When appropriate, Dr. McCann provides a clear explanation of your symptoms and whether they meet criteria for specific mental health conditions. You will gain understanding about what you are experiencing, removing uncertainty and providing a foundation for effective treatment.
Based on your assessment, you will receive a treatment plan designed specifically for your needs. This may include medication management, therapy recommendations, lifestyle guidance, or additional specialist assessments - all structured within NICE guidelines.
Dr McCann can offer follow-up appointments or referrals to therapists, GPs, or specialists as needed, ensuring continuous support throughout your treatment. Following the diagnosis, Dr. McCann can offer follow-up consultations or onward referral to therapists, GPs or other specialists. He also offers medication monitoring, medico-legal reports and follow-up assessments.
