What Happens During Your Appointment?

Your mental health consultation provides a safe, confidential space to discuss your concerns openly and without judgment.

Initial Consultation

During your appointment, Dr Bik or Dr Rinku will carry out an initial assessment to understand your needs and determine the most appropriate next steps for treatment:

Your current symptoms and concerns
How your mental health is affecting your daily life
Your medical history
Family history of mental health conditions
Sleep patterns and lifestyle factors
Work, education, relationship issues, and other pressures
Previous treatments or support received
Any specific needs that may affect your care and treatment planning

Comprehensive Mental Health Assessment

We conduct a thorough expert assessment to understand the factors contributing to your symptoms, identify the root cause where possible, and understand your specific needs so we can guide treatment choices.

Depending on your concerns, this may include assessment for:

Anxiety disorders
Depression
Stress-related conditions
Burnout
ADHD assessments
Sleep disorders
Behavioural and emotional concerns in young people
Support needs linked to learning disabilities

Personalised Treatment Plan

Following your expert assessment, we will discuss a tailored management plan that looks beyond symptoms to explore the root cause where relevant and may include:

Practical coping strategies and psychological support
Lifestyle recommendations
Stress management techniques
Sleep improvement advice
Medication where appropriate
Ongoing reviews, follow-up appointments, and weekly sessions where indicated
Referral to counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists, or other specialists if needed
ADHD assessments, with specialist diagnostic testing and support for ADHD and Autism arranged when needed
Therapeutic interventions and therapeutic techniques selected to suit your needs

Consultant psychiatrist input can be arranged for structured assessments in more complex cases, including concerns involving young people or learning disabilities, with consultant psychiatrists leading structured assessments and treatment plans through a patient-centred care approach.

Ongoing Support and Follow-Up

Patient-centred care is tailored to the individual and is often most effective when supported by regular reviews. We provide ongoing monitoring and follow-up appointments to ensure your treatment remains effective, gives you the right support, and evolves with your needs.

Management plans may include psychological support and therapeutic techniques to help make treatment a positive experience.
Therapeutic interventions may include medication or specialist therapy referrals where appropriate.
Follow-up appointments and reviews may be arranged as weekly sessions when clinically appropriate.
If needed, we can arrange consultant psychiatrist referral, and consultant psychiatrists provide structured assessments and treatment plans.
Where appropriate, we can also discuss support involving loved ones as part of ongoing care.

I genuinely wish I could give this practice more than 5 stars! From start to finish, I cannot fault the service I received. Everyone was incredibly welcoming, friendly, professional and, most importantly, completely judgment-free. They made what can sometimes be an awkward or anxiety-inducing experience feel so easy and comfortable. Even my blood test, which was a little awkward because apparently my veins decided to completely disappear (which can sometimes happen) was handled with so much patience and reassurance. I genuinely felt really well looked after throughout the whole process. And the results came back quicker than I could have imagined. I was honestly so impressed with how efficient the entire service was. It is so refreshing to find a practice where you feel genuinely listened to, respected and comfortable asking questions without feeling embarrassed or judged. The staff were absolutely lovely and the whole experience was fantastic from beginning to end. I would 100% recommend this practice to anybody and everybody. If you’re considering using them, do it! I will absolutely be going back again in the future.

My appointment with Doctor Bik was wonderful from the moment I walked in. He’s an incredibly kind doctor — patient, attentive, and genuinely caring in a way that’s rare these days. He took the time to really listen, explained everything clearly, and made me feel completely at ease. I left feeling reassured and well looked after. People may wonder about the cost, but it’s very reasonably priced and well worth the money for same-day ease of mind — something you simply won’t find on a waiting list at an NHS GP. I’ll definitely be returning for future treatments.”

I would highly recommend the Doctors practice in Edgbaston, Birmingham, especially Dr Rinku. I have had a very positive experience with Dr Rinku, who is extremely professional, caring and approachable. Dr Rinku takes the time to listen carefully to my concerns and explains everything clearly, making me feel comfortable and reassured. She never makes me feel rushed and always shows genuine care, patience and understanding. I really appreciate the time and attention she gives during appointments. She is knowledgeable, compassionate and always makes me feel that my health and wellbeing are genuinely important to her. The reception and practice staff are also friendly and helpful, which makes the overall experience even better. I feel very fortunate to have such a caring doctor. Thank you, Dr Rinku, and the whole team for providing such excellent care.
