The demand for an online psychiatrist and remote psychiatric treatment in the UK has never been higher. Increasing awareness of mental health, long NHS waiting times, and the need for flexibility mean that many people now prefer to access psychiatric care through secure online consultations. This approach combines the expertise of consultant psychiatrists with the convenience of attending appointments from home.
At Private Psychiatry, we provide professional, confidential, and accessible psychiatric care online. Whether you need an ADHD assessment, treatment for anxiety or depression, or ongoing specialist support, our psychiatrists are here to help.
An online psychiatrist is a medically qualified doctor who specialises in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions and offers consultations via secure video platforms. An online consultation follows the same structure as a face-to-face appointment, including a detailed psychiatric assessment, diagnosis when appropriate, and discussion of treatment options.
At Private Psychiatry UK, our psychiatrists provide both online and in-person appointments. Most patients choose the online format for convenience, but you will always receive the same high standard of care regardless of how you attend. Online psychiatry ensures you can access expert support quickly, without the need to travel, while maintaining the highest levels of confidentiality.
Many people find online psychiatry the most practical way to access mental health care. Some of the key benefits include:
Appointments can be attended from your home, office, or any private space. This makes it easier to fit mental health support around work, family, and other commitments.
We use encrypted video platforms to protect your privacy. Online consultations are as confidential as in-person sessions.
Geography is no longer a barrier. You can see an experienced consultant psychiatrist wherever you live in the UK.
Private online psychiatry avoids the long waiting lists often associated with NHS services. Appointments are usually available within a few days.
Your psychiatrist can provide a full assessment, offer a diagnosis if appropriate, and discuss treatment options. This may include prescribing medication, recommending therapy, or liaising with your GP.
The process is straightforward and designed to make accessing care as easy as possible.
You can book an appointment directly through our website. Once confirmed, you will receive clear instructions and a secure link for your video consultation.
The first consultation lasts around 60 minutes. Your psychiatrist will take a detailed medical and personal history, discuss your symptoms, and ask questions to understand your situation fully.
At the end of the assessment, your psychiatrist will explain any diagnosis and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs. This might include medication, referral for therapy, or advice on lifestyle and coping strategies.
Follow-ups are arranged to monitor progress and adjust treatment when necessary. These are shorter than the initial consultation and can be booked online at a time that suits you.
