Private Psychiatrists in Brighton, London and Online

A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specialises in mental health. Unlike psychologists or counsellors, psychiatrists are medically qualified doctors who are qualified to prescribe medication, diagnose mental health conditions, and manage more complex or co-occurring psychiatric conditions. They often work in collaboration with therapists, GPs and other professionals to ensure integrated, effective care.

Accessing mental health services can involve long waiting times, especially for specialist support. Choosing a private psychiatrist allows for:

• Faster access to assessment and treatment
• Continuity of care with the same consultant
• A calm, patient environment
• Flexible appointment times, including remote consultations
• A collaborative approach with your GP or therapist

We offer a wide range of psychiatric services, including:

• Diagnostic assessments for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, and more
• Medication reviews and prescribing
• Treatment for complex or co-occurring conditions (e.g. ADHD, autism, trauma)
• Referral pathways to psychological therapy and other support services

Our private psychiatry service is suitable for:

• Adults and teens (16+) experiencing distressing or persistent mental health symptoms
• Individuals seeking clarity around a diagnosis or a second opinion
• Patients requiring medical input for ongoing therapy or coaching
• Those with overlapping concerns, such as neurodiversity, trauma or mood instability
  
  

Whether you’re looking for short-term advice or ongoing management, we provide flexible, respectful support tailored to your needs.

Initial Assessment

Your journey begins with a thorough psychiatric evaluation. This may include a detailed discussion of symptoms, medical history, lifestyle and previous treatment. We also explore social, occupational and family context to understand your challenges.

Diagnosis & Treatment Planning

If a diagnosis is made, we will discuss treatment options which may include medication, talking therapies, lifestyle recommendations or referrals to other professionals. Our approach is collaborative, you’re involved in every step.

Ongoing Support

For those who need it, we offer follow-up reviews to monitor progress and adjust treatment. We can also coordinate care with your GP or therapist to ensure joined-up support.

Mental health conditions rarely exist in isolation. Many of our patients present with overlapping symptoms or dual diagnoses, such as:

• Anxiety and depression
• ADHD and mood disorders
• Autism and OCD
• Bipolar Disorder
• PTSD, complex trauma and personality issues
• Depression
• Eating Disorders
  
  

Our psychiatrists are skilled in distinguishing and managing complex presentations, ensuring treatment plans reflect your full experience, not just one diagnosis.
