Our clinical framework

A structured path to lasting recovery

Every patient at Athena moves through a proven four-stage clinical framework — built on evidence, delivered by specialists dedicated to mental health, and personalised to each individual's needs.

Comprehensive psychiatric assessment

Every treatment journey begins with a thorough psychiatric and psychological evaluation. Senior clinicians use internationally validated tools — DSM-5, PHQ-9, Y-BOCS, AUDIT — to define an accurate diagnosis and build a personalised care pathway before any medication or therapy is prescribed.
