Consultant-led assessment
A psychiatric assessment with a GMC-registered consultant psychiatrist.
Professional referrals
For referring professionals
Consultant psychiatry for your clients. Your client stays your client.
Some of our partners
Psyara accepts referrals from therapists, psychologists, coaches, employee wellbeing providers and private GPs across England.
We don't offer therapy, counselling or coaching, and we never ask you to pause your work. We add the medical layer: diagnosis, medication where appropriate, and GP liaison. Then we hand your client straight back to you.
What your client receives
A clear clinical plan
A written diagnostic report and treatment plan, usually within two weeks of completed forms.
Connected care
With your client's consent, we send you the assessment outcome and treatment plan.

Not sure which fits your client? Start with a general assessment — our psychiatrist explores all contributing factors, including ADHD.
When to consider a psychiatric referral
You know your client best. A psychiatric view adds something when:
- progress has plateaued and you suspect a biological driver, such as depression, anxiety or bipolar disorder
- the picture is unclear: ADHD or anxiety, low mood or bipolar, trauma or attention difficulties
- your client asks about medication, or current medication isn't working
- a formal diagnosis would support your work, workplace adjustments or a GP conversation
We assess every client ourselves. We don't prescribe on an outside diagnosis alone.
Why a psychiatric assessment will help you and your patient
Here's what a psychiatric assessment offers you and the people you refer to us.
1. One assessment, not two
Our assessments are led by consultant psychiatrists, so diagnosis and treatment planning happen in one place.
2. Physical health considered
Poor concentration, low mood and anxiety can have physical causes, such as thyroid problems, sleep disorders or side effects of other medicines. We take these into account as part of the assessment.
3. Overlapping conditions
ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma and bipolar disorder can look alike. Telling them apart matters, because the right treatment depends on it.
4. Safe prescribing from the start
When medication is appropriate, we complete the physical health checks NICE recommends before treatment begins, including heart health, blood pressure and any other medicines your client takes.
5. Joined-up care with the GP
With your client's consent, we write to their GP and, where appropriate, request a shared care agreement. If the GP declines shared care, we'll discuss the options with you and your client.
6. When a psychologist may be the better route
If your client needs detailed cognitive testing or an autism assessment, a psychologist may be better placed to help. If we think that's the case, we'll tell you.
