“I could write a book about modern mental disorders. But I think my time is better spent treating them.”
“Our aim is to guide patients back to better mental health, not to a life of medication.”
“Yes, it’s a mad world. And if you feel it’s making you mentally ill, we’re here to help.”
“An expert in child psychiatry, Richard’s innovative thinking and vibrant energy brings a unique perspective to clients.”
“I wish we had more gems like Richard working in UK psychiatry.”
“What do you call a psychiatrist who treats not just the head but the whole person? A vast improvement.”
“I’m the child psychiatrist your GP would refer you to if only you’d managed to see your GP.”
“The quality of psychiatric care I provide may also be available within the NHS. Meanwhile, here’s my number.”

“We cannot thank Dr Fry enough for helping with our son’s anxieties.”

Diagnosis & Treatment
I run a practice that is considerate, attentive and friendly – an overlooked part of any treatment and one that’s fundamental to our ethos. Children are often scared, anxious or resistant to talking, especially to doctors. As parents ourselves (and every one of us here is), we understand just how difficult situations can be and we care deeply about making our patients better and happier. We provide assessments, diagnoses and treatments for the conditions below. Please enquire if you don’t see yours listed:
Because we’ve all had extensive experience in the NHS – and some of us still do – we have a deep appreciation of the day-to-day challenges that face patients, so we work with your GP wherever possible. (If you cannot get a GP referral please talk to us.)
We never just assess and pass on patients to colleagues. Instead, we work with you and your family to guarantee joined-up thinking, ensuring too that local services are involved as much as possible.
