Psychological assessment is offered with Clear Health Psychology on a selective basis.
We do not require a routine psychological screening but will offer and facilitate it if required. In most cases this can be part funded by an Extended Practice Certificate arranged by your GP.

Even Bipolar depression can be managed providing patients are stable on medication and with the support of the psychiatrist.
