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