WMI Psychiatry was set up to offer high-quality private mental health care that is thorough, reliable, and affordable. The service was created in response to two common difficulties many people face: long waiting times in NHS services and the high costs often seen in private care.
We believe that a careful and detailed psychiatric assessment should be available to everyone, not just those who can afford expensive fees. From the outset, our clinic has aimed to provide gold standard care at a fair and reasonable cost.
We believe that a good assessment takes time.
Many private services offer very short assessments or charge high fees for a single appointment. Our approach is different. We use a structured process over several appointments so that we can build a full and accurate understanding of your needs. This gives us time to gather detailed background information, and make careful clinical decisions. We prioritise getting things right and keeping things safe, rather than rushing.
Each assessment is tailored to the individual.
We look at your developmental history, your experiences in education or work, your family’s perspective, and how things affect your day-to-day life. We also make a point of understanding your strengths, not just your difficulties, so that any recommendations are balanced and realistic.
After the assessment, we provide clear feedback and explain the next steps.
If treatment is recommended, this may include practical strategies, changes to your environment, or medication. Any prescribing follows national guidance and is carefully monitored to ensure it is safe and effective.
We offer assessment and support for ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, and a range of mental health difficulties, including anxiety and low mood. We work with children, young people, and adults, and we adapt our approach to suit each person’s age, needs, and situation.
Our aim is not just to provide a diagnosis. We want to help you understand what is going on, offer practical support, and guide you towards the next steps that are right for you.
WMI Psychiatry is led by a Psychiatrist and supported by an experienced team of professionals from different backgrounds. All of our clinicians are fully qualified, properly registered, and work within clear safety and quality standards.
We place a strong focus on safe prescribing, clear record keeping, safeguarding, and ongoing training. We also work closely with GPs, schools, and other professionals involved in your care. Our aim is to make sure that support is joined up, consistent, and in your best interests.
Many families come to us after a long period of uncertainty. Some have been waiting for an NHS assessment, while others have found private care too expensive or difficult to understand. Our aim is to make this process clearer and more accessible.
We are committed to providing care that follows established professional standards while keeping things as straightforward as possible. We keep our administrative processes simple, avoid unnecessary costs, and explain fees clearly from the start so you know what to expect.
Our structured approach is designed to provide a thorough assessment while remaining fair and transparent. We believe good care should be careful, honest, and accessible, rather than overly complicated or difficult to access.
WMI Psychiatry aims to provide thorough and careful assessments at a fair and reasonable cost. We focus on delivering care that is evidence-based, thoughtful, and tailored to each individual. We work closely with individuals and families so that you feel informed, understood, and supported at every stage of the process.
