“I could write a book about modern mental disorders. But I think my time is better spent treating them.”
“Dr Fry looks beyond symptoms and sees the whole child, hormones, gut health and genetics. Bringing science to psychiatry.”
“The quality of psychiatric care I provide may also be available within the NHS. Meanwhile, here’s my number.”
“Dr Fry is patient, kind and looks at the bigger picture, not just the medication.”

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.
