About

Dr Robin Lawrence is an Adult Consultant Psychiatrist with decades of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of all forms of Psychological Medicine, and has practiced since 1997 from his clinic at 96 Harley Street.

Dr Lawrence completed his training in Medicine and Surgery at Birmingham University in 1980, he then went on to become a Member of the Royal College of Medicine and then the Royal College of Psychiatrists. He is on the GMC Specialist Register for Psychiatry. Dr Lawrence has extensive experience in the understanding and treatment of mental illness, having worked as a Lecturer and Senior Lecture in Psychiatry, completed his psychiatric training at the Maudsley Hospital and he became a Consultant in General Adult Psychiatry at St Thomas's Hospital in 1990. There he developed the Briston Road Community Mental Health Centre and has worked for many years as a senior mental health professional in the NHS and in Private Practice.

Dr Lawrence provides an outpatient treatment service where consultations are conducted at his Harley Street office. If in-patient care is necessary he will always refer to the most suitable treatment centre. Offering a combined psychiatry and psychotherapeutic service enables him to address patients' immediate, often debilitating, symptoms, as well as facilitate longer-term change if indicated and/or desired.

Dr Lawrence has on numerous occasions shown sensitivity, flexibility and perceptiveness across the range of issues I have faced. The support and health benefits he has brought fall above what might reasonably be expected. He goes above and beyond in order help.

Explanation

I'm sure that, were it not for Dr Lawrence's expertise, diagnosis, treatment plan, and ongoing support, my mental health would not have improved, and certainly not as much has it has in the year since I first met him. The problems I have had are longstanding. Dr Lawrence enabled me to think about things sufficiently differently for me to begin clambering my way out. I thoroughly recommend Dr Lawrence.

I have been a courtesy patient of Dr Lawrence for about 7 years. Without his help, wisdom, love and genuine concern I probably wouldn't be alive today. Thank you Robin
