Clinically equivalent

Online psychiatric consultations deliver the same clinical depth as in-person appointments. Assessment, formulation, prescribing and ongoing monitoring — all fully available online.

02

Available UK-wide

We accept patients from anywhere in England. You do not need to be in London to access consultant-level psychiatric care — or to avoid long NHS waiting lists.

03

Private and secure

All online consultations use an encrypted, GDPR-compliant video platform. Your session is completely private — nobody else in your household needs to know you have an appointment.

Online psychiatric care

Is online psychiatry as good
as seeing someone in person?

This is the question most people ask before booking an online appointment — and the honest answer is: for most of what we do, yes.

Psychiatric assessment relies primarily on conversation, careful listening and clinical observation. All of this translates well to video. There are some situations where in-person is preferable:

  • Where a physical examination is clinically relevant
  • Where the patient's connectivity or home environment makes video impractical
  • Where someone simply finds face-to-face contact easier — which is a completely valid reason

For everything else — including the majority of second opinions, medication reviews, ADHD assessments and deprescribing support — online works exceptionally well.

The quality of the clinical relationship matters more than the medium through which it happens. Online simply removes the barrier of geography.

The experience

What an online consultation
actually looks like

Before your appointment

You will receive a secure link by email ahead of your appointment. No app download is required — the consultation runs in your browser. We recommend joining from a quiet, private space where you feel comfortable speaking openly.

What to have ready: any previous psychiatric letters, GP summaries or clinic notes you feel are relevant.

During the appointment

Your initial appointment is 90 minutes. The consultant will take a thorough history — your background, your mental health journey, what you are currently taking, and what you are hoping to explore or change. Follow-up appointments are typically 60 to 90 minutes.

Technical requirements

A smartphone, tablet or computer with a camera and microphone is all you need. A stable internet connection is important — contact us in advance if you have any concerns about connectivity.

90min initial online consultation — the same duration as in-person, because your situation deserves the same amount of time regardless of format

Is online right for you?

Who benefits most from
online psychiatric care

Online works particularly well if you:

  • Live outside London and want access to consultant-level private psychiatric care without the travel
  • Have a busy schedule that makes taking time out for an in-person appointment difficult
  • Find the familiarity of your own home makes it easier to speak openly about difficult things
  • Want a second opinion or medication review — purposes that translate particularly well to video
  • Have previously struggled with the waiting room experience of NHS or private clinic settings

Not a crisis service

We are not an urgent or emergency psychiatric service. If you are in acute distress, please contact your GP, call 111, or in an emergency call 999. Our service is for people who are broadly stable and seeking planned clinical care.
