Talk to a GP about anxiety & depression today

tapGP Wellbeing is a confidential online mental health service providing access to NHS-trained, GMC-registered GPs with experience in mental health.

We offer quick GP consultations for anxiety and depression. You'll have a safety screening assessment, followed by a 15-minute consultation with a GP. If treatment is appropriate, you'll receive a prescription. If you're stable on treatment, you can continue with ongoing repeat prescriptions at £19/month.

Our doctors commonly support patients with:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Stress-related symptoms
• Social phobia
• Obsessive compulsive disorder (mild–moderate)
• Perinatal and postnatal depression

We do not treat conditions such as ADHD, psychosis, eating disorders, personality disorders, or alcohol and drug dependence. Our screening assessment will identify if you're not suitable.

• Quick consultation: £59 (one-off) — includes safety screening and 15-minute GP assessment.
• Repeat prescriptions: £19 per month — for patients stable on treatment, with a scheduled GP review every 6 months.

Medication costs are paid separately to the pharmacy.

No, this is a proper GP assessment. You'll:

• Complete a safety screening assessment to check suitability
• Have a 15-minute consultation with a GMC-registered GP
• Discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment options
• Only receive a prescription if the GP determines it's clinically appropriate for you

Your GP prioritizes your safety and wellbeing, not just prescribing medication.

In most cases, yes. Many patients can have their consultation on the same day, often within a few hours of booking. If same-day slots are full, you can book at a convenient time that suits you. Appointments are available 7 days a week.

It depends on the medication and your symptoms, but a typical timeline is:

• First few days: some people notice early changes in sleep or anxiety, but side effects can also show up first.
• 2–4 weeks: gradual improvement is more common (for example, fewer "bad days" or slightly better mood and motivation).
• 4–8 weeks: the full benefit is often clearer, and you can discuss with your GP whether to continue, adjust the dose, or consider an alternative.

If you feel significantly worse, have new troubling symptoms, or have thoughts of self-harm, please seek urgent help immediately (call 999 or go to A&E).

If treatment is suitable and you're stable on medication, you can move to repeat prescription care at £19/month. This includes monthly repeat prescriptions and a scheduled GP review every 6 months.

If symptoms change or you need additional support at any time, you can book an additional GP consultation.
