Mental Health Support
At Asquith Doctors, qualified general practitioners (GPs) provide confidential and compassionate mental-health support for patients of all ages. Emotional wellbeing is a key part of overall health, and seeking help early can make a meaningful difference in recovery and quality of life.
The clinic’s GPs offer a safe, respectful environment where patients can discuss challenges such as anxiety, low mood, stress, sleep difficulties or major life changes. Each consultation is focused on understanding the person’s situation, identifying contributing factors and developing a realistic plan for improvement.
What Is a Mental Health Consultation?
A mental-health consultation is a private appointment with a GP to discuss emotional, psychological or behavioural concerns. It may be a one-off discussion or the first step in creating a Mental Health Care Plan, which provides access to Medicare-rebated sessions with a psychologist or mental-health clinician.
Common reasons to see a GP in Asquith for mental-health support include persistent feelings of sadness or worry, loss of motivation, changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty coping with work or relationships, and ongoing stress or burnout. GPs also assist patients experiencing grief, adjustment after major change, or emotional effects of chronic illness.
What to Expect During Your GP Appointment
A mental-health appointment provides time to talk about how you’ve been feeling and to explore factors that may be affecting your wellbeing.
The GP will listen carefully and ask about symptoms, recent events, medical history and lifestyle habits such as sleep, exercise and substance use.
Together, you and your GP will develop a care plan that may include:
- Short-term strategies to improve mood, sleep and coping skills
- Referrals to psychologists, counsellors or psychiatrists where appropriate
- Discussion of therapy options and, if suitable, medication management
- Follow-up appointments to review progress and provide ongoing support
Patients who feel they need more time to discuss mental health can request a longer GP appointment when booking.
