Initial Assessment Fees
Before proceeding, we want you to feel clear about the costs involved in your care.
Your initial assessment fee depends on the pathway you are referred for and covers the first stage of your care, including the appointment, the related clinical work, and an initial prescription if clinically recommended.
Depending on your outcome and next steps, there may also be additional costs after your initial assessment, particularly if medication is recommended and you choose to commence treatment.

Potential additional costs:
There may be additional costs after your initial assessment if you are diagnosed, medication is recommended, and you choose to commence treatment.
We encourage you to read through the potential additional costs so you can factor them into your decision before proceeding.
Medication Reviews
If medication is recommended after your initial assessment and you choose to proceed, follow-up reviews with your Fluence Clinic psychiatrist are required while your treatment is adjusted and monitored.
This stage is called titration. It is an important part of safe prescribing and helps your psychiatrist review your medication, dose, side effects, and any monitoring needs before your care moves to a less frequent review schedule or possible shared care arrangement.
The timeline below shows the usual review requirements during titration.
Note: Your review schedule may differ depending on your medication, response to treatment, side effects, or monitoring needs.
Your psychiatrist will explain what is recommended and why, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions so you can make informed decisions about your care.
Other potential costs to be aware of
In addition to the initial appointment, there are other possible costs that are associated with continued care.
This is most relevant if you are diagnosed during your assessment and medication treatment is recommended.
Potential additional costs are:
- Medication reviews during titration
- Follow-up reviews post-titration
- The cost of your medication from your pharmacy
- Monitoring checks, such as blood pressure, blood test, or ECGs (if arranged privately)
Estimated monitoring costs
Some medications require physical health checks before starting treatment or during ongoing care.
Where possible, these may be arranged through your GP. If they cannot be arranged through your GP, you may choose to arrange them privately.
The figures below are estimates. Costs vary per provider.
Blood pressure & pulse check
Often free to £30
Basic blood tests
Approx. £60 – £100+
ECG / heart tracing
Approx. £60 – 120+
Private GP or nurse appointment
Approx. £45 – £170+
Follow-Up Care Fees
Follow-up care with Fluence Clinic can involve different fees depending on where you are in your treatment.
- During titration, you will need review appointments with your psychiatrist as per the above timeline.
- Once stabilised, private prescriptions may be available where clinically appropriate if shared care is not in place.
Once stable, medication reviews will typically become less frequent and are arranged as needed for clinical review or shared care support.
Medication Review Appointment
£250 per appointment
Reviews are required until stabilisation if medication is recommended and you commence treatment following your initial appointment. Reviews may also be clinically required after stabilisation to support continued care.
- First review 2 weeks after initial assessment
- Reviews every 4 weeks after first review until you are stabilised on your medication
- Includes any relevant prescription issued, where clinically appropriate
Private Prescription
£75 per prescription issued
This may apply once your medication is stabilised if shared care does not commence, or if you would prefer to continue privately.
- Prescription only, with no review appointment included
- A medication review may still be required before another prescription is issued
