What is the “best” treatment for anxiety or depression?
You’ll typically see Dr Ibrar Ahmed or an experienced GP/mental health practitioner in our team. If specialist input is helpful, we can arrange referrals to consultant psychiatrists or psychologists.

Yes. We can issue private prescriptions when appropriate and refer to trusted therapists, psychiatrists and other specialists. We’ll also advise on NHS options if that’s your preference.
