About

I am an experienced and compassionate Adult consultant psychiatrist with over twenty years of psychiatric practice. I worked as a consultant psychiatrist in the NHS, the independent sector and the Ministry of Defence.

Currently, I run my own private psychiatric practice. I have practising privileges at Priory Hospital Woking. My private office is based at Cedar Court in Petersfield.

Prior to my psychiatric training, I worked in general medicine and surgery. This invaluable experience formed my overall clinical management of patients, with emphasis not only on mental health symptoms but also physical health issues. I remain interested in new developments and aim to keep up to date with medical progress. This ensures that my patients benefit from a holistic assessment and treatment to maximise their recovery chances.

I completed my initial psychiatric training at a highly regarded Guy's and St Thomas' training scheme in London, then went on to complete my specialist training in forensic psychiatry at equally prestigious and competitive North Thames training scheme in London and Essex. I successfully completed my training and was awarded the Membership of the Royal College of Psychiatrists in 2005, and the Certificate of Completion of Training in 2008.

I have additional training in psychotherapy - in 2010 I successfully completed the intensive training course in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy that was organised by prominent American psychologist Marsha Linehan. Since then, I have applied these psychotherapeutic skills in my practice.

I am on the General Medical Council specialist register in Forensic psychiatry. I am approved under section 12(2) of the Mental Health Act as having special experience in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders.

During my NHS and independent career, I was always involved in teaching and supervision of other doctors and mental health professionals. I was actively involved in the management and clinical governance process. I held a position of a Clinical Director at one of the independent hospitals.

When making decisions about treatment, I apply the best current evidence- based information and guidelines to help my patients. This includes NICE guidelines, advice from the BNF (British National Formulary), the Royal College of Psychiatrists and other relevant sources.

Explanation

Dr Coffey listened with compassion and provided valuable insights and guidance on treatments to help my recovery. In particular Dr Coffey’s assessment of what treatments in particular integrated talking therapy would be helpful. When I first met Dr Coffey I felt very vulnerable and her manner was most reassuring and supportive. Thank you.

An excellent first consultation. Dr Coffey gathered all salient information in a quiet and calm manner which really helped. She clearly understood all the issues and her advice was considered and well delivered. Investigations are on-going but we are confident that the right diagnoses and treatment plan will be agreed in a timely manner. We are very pleased to have found Dr Coffey.

I am commenting on my initial assessment. Dr Coffey took a considerable amount of time to take a comprehensive survey of my past history and current state, whilst being sympathetic to my worries. At the end she gave me her diagnosis, explained several treatment options and offered her preference. Throughout the session I felt that I had been listened to and treated with respect.
