psychiatry darlington

Our Consultant Psychiatrist, Dr Antonia Momber, offers psychiatry services at our Darlington centre for children adolescents aged up to 18 years with any mental health symptoms or function concerns. These may include difficulties with early childhood, mood, anxiety, behaviour, sense of self, family or interpersonal stress, past trauma, concentration and energy, and neurodevelopmental symptoms such as attentional difficulties or complex disorder.

psychiatry Services

  • Our psychiatry services at Manna Wellness involve both standard specialist child and adolescent psychiatry and integrative assessment and care (including for more complex conditions). This involves assessment of underlying health factors that may contribute to cognitive and emotional symptoms, as well as physical health differences. These include nutrient absorption and functions in the body, and how our habits, metabolic gene, microbiome and toxin exposure differences can be found to exacerbate or support the biochemical processes important to brain functions.

  • Our Consultant Psychiatrist, Dr Momber, also works collaboratively with clients and their families in developing an understanding lifestyle approaches play and also when more detailed assessment or intervention may be relevant. This may be solely with Dr Momber, or alongside additional practitioners including a nutritional health practitioner or a client’s GP.

    Dr Momber can assess for mental health and biological contributions to attention and hyperactivity symptoms.
