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.

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.

I am incredibly fortunate to be with Dr Lawrence for over 20 years. His knowledge of psychiatry and psychology is enormous, yet he distills this knowledge into simple effective treatments and consultations for me, and many people I have recommended him to. Amongst the London psychiatrist practitioner 'fog and confusion’, Dr Lawrence is a lighthouse. I am very blessed to be his patient.
