Mental health nurses are specially trained to undertake thorough mental health assessments (known as biopsychosocial assessments) and clients can be assured Alex is highly skilled in the identification of a wide range of mental health problems in children and young adults, from common disorders like anxiety to more complex conditions. Accurate, early identification ensures effective care planning which leads to improved outcomes. Alex uses a range of evidence-based screening tools and gold standard assessment psychometric measures to evaluate each symptom.
Alex uses a holistic approach, considering medical, psychological, developmental, and social factors. This thorough evaluation can uncover underlying issues that may be overlooked in less comprehensive assessments. Being assessed by a nurse means that clients are being evaluated by a medical professional who can consider a biopsychosocial perspective of presenting difficulties. Alex understands the complex world of the health system and will support you in finding your way to better health, or the health of your child.
Person-centred, recovery focused care planning is at the heart of mental health nursing and it is what makes nursing unique. Clients can expect a personalised care plan tailored to the individual needs of the child or adolescent or young adult. Care plans are reviewed regularly to ensure your treatment is on track.
Alex stays up-to-date in evidence-based therapeutic interventions, ensuring that the treatment delivered is effective and grounded in the latest research. Alex delivers a range of psychotherapeutic, or 'talking therapy', approaches. If Alex considers that yours, or your child, mental health might benefit from medication, Alex will support you in referring you to a psychiatrist or nurse prescriber.
