Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

Dr Pavan Joshi
MBBS, FRCPsych, MSc with distinction
I am a consultant psychiatrist working both in the NHS and private practice. Psychiatrists are trained to assess, diagnose, treat, and monitor mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders.
I believe that our mental health, much like ourselves, is an intricately woven pattern of several interesting, complex, and creative factors that encompass our mind, body, and the circumstances we live in, all of which contribute to our individuality and make us unique.
With over 20 years of experience in mental health, I take a comprehensive approach to assessments and care plans. I carefully consider each person's unique journey, mental health history, needs, and individual circumstances. Based on this, I collaboratively create a personalised care plan, drawing on the best available evidence, specific circumstances, and the individual’s preferences.
I provide in-person consultations in London, as well as virtual appointments. I also offer a complimentary 10-minute initial consultation to answer any questions you may have about the assessment process and the support I can provide.
In addition to my clinical work, I facilitate a voluntary support group and lead well-being and mental health initiatives aimed at fostering community support and raising mental health awareness.
Why choose to work with me?
1. Bespoke treatment based on your care needs.
Every journey is unique, and so is every assessment. I view each person as an individual, ensuring that you receive an evidence-based assessment and treatment plan specifically designed to meet your needs.
2. Accredited psychiatric provider
I am a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and a member of various professional organisations in medicine, psychiatry, and LGBTQ+ mental health. I have completed training in adult psychiatry and hold an accreditation in liaison psychiatry, a subspecialty combining medical and mental health expertise. Additionally, I hold a Master's degree with honours in Transcultural Mental Health and am an approved clinician under Section 12(2) of the Mental Health Act.
3. Extensive Experience
With over 20 years of experience providing mental health support, I feel fortunate for the opportunity to have worked with so many wonderful colleagues and patients along the way.
4. Neurodevelopmental Disorders
I am a specialist in neurodevelopmental disorders with a focus on providing tailored, evidence-based care for individuals across the lifespan. With extensive experience in assessing, diagnosing, and supporting those with conditions such as autism, and ADHD, I am dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate the challenges associated with these conditions. My approach is individualised, compassionate, and aimed at empowering each person to reach their full potential.
5. Trauma informed care
I am a specialist in trauma-informed care, committed to providing compassionate and holistic support for individuals who have experienced trauma. With a deep understanding of how trauma affects mental, emotional, and physical well-being, I focus on creating safe, empowering environments where individuals can heal and rebuild. My approach integrates evidence-based practices, prioritising safety, trust, and choice to support each person on their unique path to recovery.
