Psychiatrist in Kent?

lalalalala · 24-04-2008, 03:39 PM

Hello,

I am looking for a psychiatrist in Kent and wondered if anyone knew any places online to search where I can contact them via email? I would like to go private and not through my GP.

Thanks

The Royal College of Psychiatrists site would be a good place to start. Also your local Yellow Pages - but make sure they're properly accredited.

Thankyou,

The ones in the Yellow Pages don't have email contact, I really need to talk via email first.

I will check out The Royal College of Psychiatrists.

even if you want private, surely you can go to your gp and ask him to recommend a private one? he'll probably know whos best.

Their are reasons I would rather do it myself if I can, long reasons I'd rather not go into, but if I have to goto my GP then I will.

Also I don't see any list or anything at http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/, seems to just be info?

This is the page you need http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/mentalhealt...togethelp.aspx

Thanks

Q. Can you give me a list of psychiatrists? The College is unable to supply names of members, or to recommend individuals. In order to find a psychiatrist, you should ask your GP or local healthcare trust. You can obtain lists of nearby doctors' surgeries and your local healthcare trusts by contacting the NHS

I will contact the NHS

Was hoping their was a directory for private ones somewhere, doesn't look like it tho.

Hey... I was in a psych hospital in Kent, Sevenoaks, it's called Godden Green Clinic and you can go for outpatient appointments it's a private clinic as well, I think it's just what you're looking for. It was brilliant and I would recommend it to anyone.

Thanks, I will take a look.

I'm not being funny but the psychiatrist will probably want to have a first assessment session and they won't be able to do that over the computer.

I just found my own psychiatrist with that!! Rather funny and unnerving at the same time.

Not to hijack the thread, I'd advise you to go to your GP.
