Dr Richard Fry

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:

  • Depression

  • Phobias

  • Anxiety

  • ADHD

  • Autistic Spectrum Condition

  • Aspergers

  • Behavioural Difficulties

  • Dyspraxia-Dyslexia
  • Tantrums/Meltdowns

  • Relationship difficulties, either intact, post-divorce or separation.

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.

  • FRAT Testing Now Available

Folate Receptor Antibody Testing looks at a very particular set of antibodies that can develop and have a detrimental effect in the brain.
