Psychiatry UK is uniquely placed to help people access the highest quality of specialist mental health support. Our online, AI-powered service enables the whole family to quickly and easily access the care they need. I’m excited to strengthen our core neurodiversity business, transform our patient pathways and broaden our service to include both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies such as ADHD coaching.

“Psychiatry UK is driven by the best and brightest clinical and non-clinical experts who are passionate about helping to make a difference to people’s lives. That passion and commitment is an inspiration to me.”
