Dr McCann is dedicated to providing the support you need for long-term mental health and well-being. From the moment you begin your treatment with him, he takes a compassionate, individualised approach. He works closely with you to understand your unique needs, so he can provide the best care possible throughout your journey. Your treatment will begin with a comprehensive assessment, allowing him to fully understand your situation and determine the most effective therapy and counselling options for you.
The process is designed to offer a clear, supportive pathway from start to finish, with ongoing care to ensure you receive the help you need even after your initial treatment. Here’s what you can expect:
During the first consultation Dr McCann will take a detailed account of your symptoms, history, and general health to ensure your care is tailored to your unique needs.
He will provide a clear explanation of your symptoms and whether they meet the criteria for a specific mental health condition, helping you understand what you’re experiencing.
You’ll receive a personalised treatment plan, which may include medication, talk therapy, or additional assessments to address your mental health needs effectively.
He can offer follow-up appointments or referrals to therapists, GPs, or specialists as needed, ensuring continuous support throughout your treatment.
You don’t need a referral from a GP to make an appointment, and the services are available for both self-paying clients and those with private health insurance. The aim is to make accessing the care you need as easy and straightforward as possible. Whether you prefer online consultations or in-person care at one of the clinics in either Edinburgh or the Borders, there is flexibility to meet your needs and ensure you receive the best treatment possible.
Appointments are available at a central Edinburgh consulting room or at Dr McCann’s private office at Castle Craig Hospital near Peebles in the Borders.
For those wanting the convenience of an online appointment, these can be held via Zoom or Teams.
