Expanding his services, Dr De Mel now offers:

FPS involves structured, practical interventions used by trained professionals, including GPs and psychologists, to help patients manage common mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. These sessions equip patients with practical coping skills and techniques, including relaxation strategies, cognitive restructuring, and motivational interviewing.

Dedicated to holistic, patient-centred care, Dr De Mel focuses on timely, evidence-based management and patient education to support long-term health and wellbeing.
