The Initial Consultation is the standard first step for every new patient, billed under this name for insurance purposes. Depending on what is found, it may conclude as a standalone psychiatric assessment with a personalised plan, or — where ADHD or autism is suspected — proceed into the relevant neurodevelopmental assessment pathway (see ADHD, Autism, or Complex Neurodevelopmental Assessment).
What is included
One-hour consultation with Dr Athina Zakynthinaki
Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation
Screening for co-existing neurodevelopmental conditions if relevant
Tailored treatment recommendations
Letter to GP or school if required
This consultation can be billed to your insurer. Neurodevelopmental (ADHD and autism) assessments are not covered by insurance; only the Initial Consultation and ongoing psychiatric consultations can be billed in this way.
