GENERAL PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES

Living with mental health challenges can profoundly affect every aspect of your life, including your physical health and overall well-being. Mental and physical health are deeply interconnected—without addressing psychological needs, true physical health and quality of life are difficult to achieve. Despite this, many people living in rural areas or facing lengthy waiting lists struggle to access timely, specialist psychiatric care.

To help overcome these barriers, we have developed a secure, professional online telepsychiatry service. This platform enables adults experiencing a range of psychiatric conditions to receive expert assessment and treatment promptly, from the comfort and privacy of their own homes, regardless of location, seven days a week.

All assessments and treatments are delivered via a confidential and secure telepsychiatry model, allowing you to access care at a time and place convenient for you, wherever you are located. Our consultant psychiatrist is registered with the Irish Medical Council and is a member of both the College of Psychiatrists of Ireland and the Royal College of Psychiatrists in the UK, ensuring you receive care of the highest professional standard.
