FUNCTIONAL PSYCHIATRY


Functional psychiatry incorporates a variety of interventions, including the personalization and titration of traditional psychiatric medications, but also places a special emphasis on the role of psychological therapies and lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management in supporting mental health.

Our consultant psychiatrists are skilled in a variety of psychotherapy techniques allowing them to treat all mental health disorders as well as patients suffering from complex physical symptoms. In their practice, our Psychiatrists also employ Trauma Informed talking therapies, lifestyle modifications, supplements and alternative therapies alongside medication.
