“Yes, it’s a mad world. And if you feel it’s making you mentally ill, we’re here to help.”
“ADHD? ASD? BPD? MDD? Understanding the causes of such conditions is more helpful than simply labelling them.”
“If you just want an ADHD assessment you’ve come to the right place. If you want deeper diagnosis, you’ve come to the right place.”
“Our aim is to guide patients back to better mental health, not to a life of medication.”
“Be advised: I may well prescribe other things for your mental health than just drugs.”
“Many parents suffer from anxiety on behalf of their children. I can help.”
“We were in crisis and now feel in a completely different place, in large part due to the support and care of Dr Fry and his team.”
“I prefer to treat mental illness holistically. If you prefer a more conventional method, there are many other excellent services out there.”
“You many need an assessment. You may need treatment. Both are available at this practice.”
“As a patient you don’t just get my help, you get the back-up of my entire team.”
“If a psychiatric assessment is all you need, this doctor will see you now.”
“Dr Fry is patient, kind and looks at the bigger picture, not just the medication.”
“I’m not a one-prognosis-fits-all psychiatrist precisely because you’re not a one-symptom-shows-all patient.”
“Seeing Dr Fry was the best decision we made.”
“You may be the parent, not the patient. But you will benefit from my treatment too.”
“I could write a book about modern mental disorders. But I think my time is better spent treating them.”
“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.”
“Like most clinics, we offer assessments of ADHD. Unlike most clinics, I ask what’s actually causing it.”
“My team responds fast to email enquiries. Because no-one should have to wait too long for an assessment.”
“The quality of psychiatric care I provide may also be available within the NHS. Meanwhile, here’s my number.”
“I’m the child psychiatrist your GP would refer you to if only you’d managed to see your GP.”
“Dr Fry looks beyond symptoms and sees the whole child, hormones, gut health and genetics. Bringing science to psychiatry.”
“Dr Fry diagnosed our daughter’s illness and identified the right psychologist to support us. We’ve seen a huge amount of progress since.”
“Now a teenager, our son is flourishing after finding nursery and school tricky. We couldn’t be happier or more proud.”
“An expert in child psychiatry, Richard’s innovative thinking and vibrant energy brings a unique perspective to clients.”
“We cannot thank Dr Fry enough for helping with our son’s anxieties.”
“I believe you can’t successfully treat mental illness without first understanding the mad world we live in.”
“You may need your head examined. But to do that I suggest we examine all of you.”
“There are some outstanding psychiatrists out there. But not many with such outstanding support staff.”
“Dry Fry is an innovator who cares deeply about the mental well-being of children and young people.”
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.
