A calmer kind of appointment
Longer appointments mean you are never watching the clock. You can be seen at home, where many people find it easier to talk, or by video if you prefer.
- Anxiety and panic
- Low mood and depression
- Stress and burnout
- Sleep difficulties
Treatment and onward support
Your GP can discuss talking therapies, lifestyle changes and, where suitable, medication. If specialist help would benefit you, we can refer you to a psychiatrist or therapist quickly.

Common questions
Is my appointment confidential?
Yes. What you share stays between you and your doctor, unless there is a serious risk to your safety or someone else's.
Can I be seen by video?
Yes. Many patients start with a video consultation and move to home visits if they wish.
