About Dr Robin Lawrence

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.

Dr Lawrence provides an outpatient treatment service where consultations are conducted at his Harley Street office.

Dr Lawrence is thoughtful, calm and very easy to talk to. He listens properly, explains things clearly, and has a way of making difficult periods feel more manageable. I have always felt in very safe hands with him.

Robin treats the person, not the condition. He understands the context and history and considers more than just the chemical balance of someone's brain
