About this treatment
Mental health is as much a clinical matter as physical health yet many people find it harder to seek help for. At CAS Medical, Dr Sockalingam creates a genuinely safe, confidential space for mental health screening: an extended, private conversation where anxiety, low mood, burnout, stress, or psychological concerns can be explored without time pressure or judgement.
The screening uses validated clinical tools alongside Dr Sockalingam’s extensive GP experience to assess your current mental health status, identify contributing factors, and determine the most appropriate next steps whether that is lifestyle modification, medication review, or referral to a specialist therapist or psychiatrist within the Circle Healthcare network.
What's included
- Extended confidential mental health consultation
- Validated clinical screening tools (PHQ-9, GAD-7, and others where appropriate)
- Assessment of contributing lifestyle, occupational, and biological factors
- Medication review and management where appropriate
- Clear referral pathway to specialist mental health services if needed
What to expect
- 1. Private, confidential setting — your appointment takes place in a calm, private clinical environment. Nothing you share leaves the room without your consent.
- 2. Structured screening — Dr Sockalingam uses validated tools and open clinical conversation to build a thorough picture of your current mental health.
- 3. Honest discussion — findings are shared clearly and compassionately, with time for your own questions and concerns.
