About Us
Psychiatry UK is the UK’s leading provider of digital psychiatry services, working both privately and with the NHS to support children, teenagers, and adults with expert, patient-centred care.
As a self-employed Consultant Psychiatrist (CYP) with Psychiatry UK, you will play a pivotal role in providing specialist psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and management of Children and Young People with various mental health conditions (where you have experience), including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
You will collaborate within a multidisciplinary team, leveraging your expertise to deliver evidence-based interventions and support to patients.
As part of our continued growth, Psychiatry-UK is expanding its Children and Young People (CYP) services under the Right to Choose framework in Autumn 2026. Built on our extensive experience in neurodevelopmental assessment and care, this service will ensure high-quality, safe, and clinically robust assessments aligned with national guidance.
Given the rising demand for timely ADHD and Autism assessments, this expansion will help improve access to care for children, young people, and their families.
