You're no longer feeling like yourself.
Something has shifted. You may not be able to explain why, but you know you no longer feel like the person you once were.

You're holding everything together.
From the outside, life appears to be working. Inside, it takes far more energy than anyone realises to keep going.

You're looking for answers.
Perhaps you're wondering whether ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, or another condition could explain what you've been experiencing. You're looking for clarity rather than assumptions.

Life has taken an unexpected turn.
A relationship, grief, illness, career change or another significant life event has left you searching for steadier ground.

what to expect
Thoughtful care begins with understanding.
Meaningful mental health care takes time. Every consultation is an opportunity to understand not only your symptoms, but also the experiences, relationships and circumstances that have shaped them. This provides the foundation for treatment that is both evidence-based and individualised.
01
Time to Understand
Your first appointments are intentionally unhurried, allowing time to explore not only your symptoms, but also your health, relationships, life experiences and the factors that may be contributing to how you're feeling.
02
Individualised Treatment
Treatment recommendations are shaped by a comprehensive understanding of your circumstances, preferences and goals. Depending on your needs, this may include medication, psychological therapy, lifestyle strategies or a combination of approaches.
03
An Ongoing Partnership
Psychiatric care is built on trust, openness and shared decision-making. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, understand your options and feel confident in the decisions we make about your care.
my philosophy
Care begins with curiosity.
Every woman arrives with her own story, shaped by her experiences, relationships and the life she's living today. Before we consider diagnosis or treatment, we'll take the time to understand what has brought you here and what you're hoping will be different.
Together, we'll make sense of the whole picture. Not only the symptoms you've been experiencing, but the context that gives them meaning. Because thoughtful care is never built on symptoms alone.
From there, we'll develop a personalised treatment plan that reflects your goals, values and circumstances. Whether that includes medication, psychological therapy, lifestyle interventions or a combination of approaches, every recommendation is made thoughtfully, collaboratively and with the best available evidence.

Every woman’s story is different. These are some of the reasons women seek support and how we can work together.

The Mental Load
When everything depends on you, you've become so accustomed to carrying the needs of everyone else that you've stopped noticing how much it's costing you. Together, we'll understand what's beneath the exhaustion and develop a plan that helps you feel like yourself again.

Anxiety & Mood
Feeling overwhelmed isn't always "just stress." Anxiety, depression and burnout can quietly affect every part of life. We'll take the time to understand what's driving these changes before considering the most appropriate treatment.

Life Transitions
Major life changes can unsettle even the most capable women. Whether you're navigating career changes, relationship challenges, infertility, menopause or another significant transition, care begins with understanding what this chapter means for you.

Relationships & Emotional Wellbeing
The relationships we have with others often shape the relationship we have with ourselves. Together, we'll explore longstanding patterns, emotional struggles and the experiences that continue to influence how you feel today.

Comprehensive Assessment & ADHD
Sometimes the question isn't "What diagnosis do I have?" but "Why has life become so much harder than it used to be?" Whether you're wondering about ADHD, anxiety, mood changes or something that feels difficult to define, we'll begin by understanding the whole picture before deciding what comes next.

Medication & Treatment Planning
Medication isn't the starting point for every woman, and it isn't the answer for every woman. When it's appropriate, recommendations are made carefully, explained clearly and tailored to your circumstances, goals and preferences.

GENERAL ADULT PSYCHIATRY
Psychiatric care for life’s many challenges
While the practice has a particular focus on women’s mental health, Dr Priyomi also provides general adult psychiatry.
Referrals are considered for adult patients of all sexes where the presenting concerns fall within her scope of practice. This may include assessment and treatment for ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma-related difficulties and other mental health concerns.
Every referral is considered individually, taking into account the nature of the presenting concerns, clinical suitability and the type of care the practice provides.

Before treatment comes understanding.
Before treatment comes understanding.
There are moments when you've explained your story so many times that you begin to wonder whether anyone is truly listening.
Here, the first consultation isn't about reaching a diagnosis as quickly as possible. It's about understanding the person behind the symptoms. Your experiences, relationships, health, responsibilities and goals all matter because they shape the care that follows.
Only once the whole picture is understood do we decide what treatment is most likely to help.
