“I believe you can’t successfully treat mental illness without first understanding the mad world we live in.”
“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.”

“Many parents suffer from anxiety on behalf of their children. I can help.”
“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.”
“Be advised: I may well prescribe other things for your mental health than just drugs.”
“There are some outstanding psychiatrists out there. But not many with such outstanding support staff.”
“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.”
“Now a teenager, our son is flourishing after finding nursery and school tricky. We couldn’t be happier or more proud.”
“You may be the parent, not the patient. But you will benefit from my treatment too.”
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.
