Booking, briefly

What to expect, before you pick up the phone.

Bring any earlier prescriptions or reports if you have them. If you do not, that is fine too.

What happens

From your first call to your first consultation

Nothing here happens without your say-so, and you can ask us to slow down at any point.

  1. You call, and we find a time together

    You do not have to explain the problem to whoever answers the phone. Our office will take your name and contact details, give you a time for your outpatient appointment, and fix a time for your initial assessment call (step 2).

    The difficulties are discussed later, in private, with a clinician — not at the reception desk.

  2. One of our psychologists rings you

    At the time fixed with the office, a psychologist calls to understand the difficulties properly. This call usually lasts about an hour. With your agreement, we also speak to a family member or friend, because their view often fills in what is hard to describe alone.

    Please be free at the agreed time, and somewhere quiet and comfortable where you can speak about confidential matters without being overheard or interrupted.

    If you would rather do this assessment here at InMind, just before your outpatient appointment, that works too — say so when you book.

  3. Your consultation with the psychiatrist or clinical psychologist

    Online or face to face — whichever suits you. Your first consultation takes about an hour, so there is time to talk properly rather than rush.

    Coming in person? Please arrive about ten minutes early.

  4. A second opinion, whenever you want one

    If you are already receiving treatment elsewhere and would like a second opinion, you are welcome to come to us for one. And while you are under our care, you can seek a second opinion from another of InMind’s consultants, including our Director, Dr Manoj Therayil Kumar (MD, MPH, DipCBT Oxford, FRCPsych), psychiatrist and psychotherapist.

    Just tell any member of the team — you do not need a reason, and asking changes nothing about the care you receive here.

If this is an emergency

You can come to InMind at any hour, without an appointment. Emergency assessments and admissions are available 24 hours a day. Please ring us before you leave home so we are ready for you when you arrive.
