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. 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.

This was a follow up that i requested since I had not been able to see Dr Lawrence for some time, due to the fact that I have been extremely busy. Dr Lawrence had great recall of my file and history and we were able to pick up as though I had seen him in the recent past. He has advised me through some extremely difficult times in my life and I wanted to share some postive news for him and for the file.

I cannot recommend Dr Lawrence highly enough. The standard of care he provides is exceptional, but what really sets him apart is the genuine compassion, empathy and commitment he brings to his patients. He is an incredibly thoughtful and attentive listener and takes the time to understand the whole person, rather than simply focusing on individual symptoms. His approach is considered and holistic, and he is always looking for practical solutions and different ways forward when challenges arise. Dr Lawrence consistently goes above and beyond. He explains things clearly, involves you in decisions about your care and creates an environment where you feel listened to, understood and supported. His combination of clinical expertise, insight and genuine kindness has been invaluable. It is rare to find someone who combines such high professional standards with so much humanity and compassion. I am extremely grateful for the care and support I have received from Dr Lawrence and would recommend him without hesitation.

Dr Lawrence, always listens thoroughly to what I’m going through, and we discuss in a number of different ways going forward. He’s a complete gentleman, always kind, understanding and I always feel I’m in the most professional hands- I trust him, and that’s one of the most important things for me.
