PRIVATE PSYCHIATRY IN EDINBURGH

Decades of psychiatric experience.
A practice built on being properly heard.

Edinburgh Psychiatry is an established private psychiatric practice in central Edinburgh, bringing together experienced doctors working across child, adolescent and adult psychiatry. We provide evidence-based psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, treatment and ongoing care for children, adolescents and adults.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Psychiatric care should begin with understanding.

We offer general psychiatric assessment, treatment and ongoing care for children, adolescents and adults, with specialist neurodevelopmental assessment available where appropriate.

Children

Careful assessment and treatment that considers the child, their development, family and wider environment.

Adolescents

Specialist support for young people navigating emotional, behavioural, developmental or mental health difficulties.

Adults

Assessment and ongoing care for adults seeking clarity around their mental health, neurodevelopment, medication or an existing diagnosis.

Core Clinical Services

General Psychiatric Assessment & Treatment

Comprehensive psychiatric assessment and treatment when something is not improving, the diagnosis is unclear or specialist clinical input is needed.

ADHD & Autism Assessments

Careful, evidence-based assessment tailored to the individual and the clinical question being considered.

Ongoing Care &
Second Opinions

Medication reviews, treatment planning, follow-up and independent clinical review where ongoing psychiatric care is needed.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A thorough assessment.
An honest formulation.
A clear way forward.

You do not need to arrive knowing the correct diagnosis or appointment type. We will take time to understand what is happening, explain our clinical thinking and recommend the most appropriate next step.

In the heart of Edinburgh.

Our private psychiatric practice is based at 10A St Colme Street in Edinburgh’s New Town, offering in-person appointments in a calm and private setting. Online consultations are also available where appropriate.
