About The Mind & Psychiatry Clinic
We are both consultant psychiatrists, working privately and in the NHS
We met as medical students at the University of Aberdeen and decided to specialise in psychiatry early in our careers. We are experienced in the assessment and management of ADHD, ASD and a broad range of psychiatric conditions.
It is a privilege to be a psychiatrist. We are conscious that we see people at a time of real need and vulnerability in their lives. In Scotland, 1 in 4 adults has issues with their mental health.
We set up our practice after seeing the challenges faced by patients in accessing healthcare. There is pressure on services in Scotland and this can lead to people feeling rushed or anxiously waiting for appointments.
Our Ethos
At The Mind & Psychiatry Clinic we want people to feel safe, respected and valued. We are committed to providing:
◆
Expert psychiatric care
◆
A safe, compassionate environment
◆
A confidential space to discuss your concerns
◆
Comprehensive assessments
◆
Tailored treatment plans
◆
Timely support
◆
A clear, transparent service
