Read guidePrivate mental health coordination for people with demanding lives, international care needs and a preference for a continuing, discreet relationship.

Work, family, travel and personal responsibilities do not pause when you need support. Choosing a professional, reconciling different opinions or maintaining care between countries can add another layer of complexity.
ARCSENA gives you one point of coordination. We take time to understand your priorities, existing clinical relationships and practical circumstances, then help put an appropriate structure around the care you choose.
Understand the differences between assessment, outpatient support and more intensive treatment, with specialist input where required.
Bring clarity to appointments, recommendations and agreed communication between your existing professionals.
Plan for travel, handovers and local care pathways, subject to professional availability and local requirements.
Revisit the plan after a new diagnosis, a period of treatment, a major life transition or a change in personal priorities.
A continuing relationship should make the next decision clearer, wherever life takes you.
You can appoint ARCSENA as your personal office. Family involvement is optional. You decide who is involved and what may be shared, within the requirements that apply to your care. A partner, parent, assistant or family office can help with authorised practical arrangements without receiving clinical details.
We work around the clinicians you trust. If another opinion or provider is needed, suitability guides the recommendation and any group relationship is disclosed.
How confidentiality worksFounders and leaders may be balancing work, travel, responsibility for others and personal health. The Office can help organise suitable input around those circumstances without making professional success the measure of care.
Athletes, artists, performers and people in the public eye can use the same personal-office model, with coordination shaped around their working context and individual priorities.
For founders and leadersNo. The Office can be relevant when you are planning ahead, choosing support or seeking continuity in care already in place.
The starting point is your existing care. Any proposed change should have a clear reason and be discussed with you and the relevant professionals.
Membership covers the agreed work of the Office. Clinical consultations, therapy, diagnostics and treatment are separate services with their own fees.
