A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specialises in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions — including where medication may help alongside, or instead of, talk therapy. A psychiatric consultation on Psycan gives you a confidential, one-on-one session to talk through what you're experiencing and work out a plan forward.
What a Consultation Covers
- A detailed conversation about your symptoms, history, and what's been affecting you day to day.
- A clinical assessment and, where appropriate, a diagnosis.
- Discussion of treatment options, including medication where it's likely to help — with dosages, expected effects, and follow-up explained clearly.
- A plan for ongoing care, including how often to check in and what to watch for between sessions.
When to Consider It
A psychiatric consultation is worth considering if you're dealing with persistent low mood, anxiety that isn't easing, sleep or appetite changes, difficulty concentrating, or any mental health concern where you and a talk-therapy practitioner feel medication might be worth exploring. You don't need a referral — you can book directly.
What to Expect at Booking
Each psychiatrist on Psycan sets their own consultation fee and session length, shown upfront before you book. Sessions are conducted over video call, with a link generated automatically once your booking is confirmed.
