Clinic

Through Cardiff University Psychiatry Services (CUPS) we offer a second opinion on the risk, diagnosis and management of serious psychiatric disorders associated with women's reproductive events, such as the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, perimenopause and hormone therapy.

We also provide a second gender-friendly opinion on the diagnosis and management of bipolar disorder in women.

CUPS is a referral-only clinical service that draws on the world-leading clinical expertise at the university. This service is delivered jointly through Cardiff University and Cardiff and Vale University Health Board.

Accessing our services

We can only accept referrals from mental health teams involved in the ongoing care of the person being referred. Please note that we are unable to accept self-referrals.

If you would like a second opinion from the CUPS, then you will need to discuss this with your clinical team.

Please address referrals to Professor Arianna Di Florio, details below. Arianna is a Professor of Psychiatry and honorary consultant psychiatrist and offers second opinions on the risk, diagnosis, and management of severe psychiatric disorders linked to reproductive events, including those associated with the menstrual cycle, childbirth, and the transition to menopause, as well as gender-sensitive second opinions on the diagnosis and management of bipolar disorder in women.
