Our team of Psychiatrists have expertise across a vast area of difficulties and we aim to match you with a Psychiatrist with expertise in the area you are seeking support with.
People often ask us “What is the difference between a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist?” Both Psychologists and Psychiatrists work with the same goal in mind, to increase understanding, reduce psychological distress and to improve quality of life and functioning across a range of life areas, including; education, employment, relationships, interpersonal functioning and emotionally. Psychiatrists are medically trained doctors who can offer psychiatric assessment, including diagnosis, and medical treatment for a wide range of mental health difficulties. Clinical Psychologists are doctors who have training in psychology who can offer psychological assessment, formulation and interventions such as talking therapies.

👋 Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. This week, M is for Masculinity & Mental Health.
Men`s mental health is often overlooked - not because it`s less important, but because it`s less talked about. Deep-rooted societal expectations can cause men to hide their feelings and stay silent but it`s so important to challenge these expectations!
Let`s keep breaking the stigma around men`s mental health. If you`re struggling, you are not alone - and you don`t have to go through it alone either! 💛

This week’s #FridayFAQ is ‘What is Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria?’
We are sharing a deeply honest and personal blog written by one of our clients about their experience with RSD – often linked with ADHD and autism that can make rejection (including perceived rejection) feel overwhelming. They have generously allowed us to share their story in the hope that it will help others feel less alone.
You can read the full blog on our website (link in bio!) We’d also love to hear your thoughts and if any part of this resonates with you 💛

Welcome back to our ‘M’ series! This week, ‘M’ is for #MaternalMentalHealthAwarenessWeek!
Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week is a campaign organised by @perinatalmhpartnership and is dedicated to talking about mental health problems before, during and after pregnancy 🤰
The Perinatal Mental Health Partnership conducted a survey which showed that women do not feel listened to concerning their mental health in parenthood. This week especially, it’s important to highlight the power of women knowing it is okay to express their needs, feelings and experiences related to their mental wellbeing 🌸
Let’s talk about postnatal depression, anxiety, birth trauma and the importance of early support. Whether you’re a new mum, expecting, or supporting someone who is - your mental health matters 💛💫
