Mental Health Support GP-led support, care plans and mental health consultations

At Aloura Family Practice, we recognise that mental wellbeing is a vital part of overall health. Did you know that around 60% of general practice consultations involve a mental health concern? Our doctors provide confidential and compassionate mental health support for patients of all ages, offering time, understanding and professional guidance when it’s needed most.

If you wish to discuss a mental health matter, we recommend booking a long consultation to ensure there is enough time to explore your concerns fully. Your GP will take the time to listen, assess your situation and create a personalised mental health care plan where appropriate. This may include referrals to a psychologist, medication management or other tailored mental health services to support your wellbeing.

Comprehensive Mental Health Assessments

Our experienced doctors provide mental health assessments to help identify conditions such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders or attention difficulties. These assessments form the foundation of your care plan, allowing your GP to guide you toward the right support, whether that’s counselling, therapy or further specialist input.

Support for Anxiety, Stress and Emotional Health

We understand that anxiety, stress and low mood can affect every aspect of daily life. Our team offers compassionate support for anxiety and practical stress management strategies to help you regain balance. Where appropriate, we can refer you to trusted psychologists and allied health professionals for additional care.

ADD and ADHD Assessment Guidance

If you or a loved one has concerns about possible ADD or ADHD, our doctors can guide you through the mental health assessment and referral process. We’ll help you understand what’s involved, discuss the next steps and coordinate care with the appropriate specialists if needed.

Confidential and Supportive Care

We provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about your feelings, thoughts or concerns. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, stress, grief, or ongoing emotional challenges, our doctors are here to listen and support you through every step of your mental health journey.
