Spectrum Mind Healthcare is a specialist mental health service providing comprehensive assessments, diagnosis, and treatment for a wide range of neurodevelopmental and mental health conditions. These include stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), bipolar affective disorder, psychotic illnesses, and other mental health difficulties as well as neurodevelopmental conditions such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Dyslexia and Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC).
We combine clinical expertise with a compassionate, neuroaffirming approach to help individuals understand their minds and thrive.
Spectrum Mind Healthcare is currently not CQC registered. We operate as an independent healthcare service providing assessments, diagnostic opinions, and treatment recommendations by qualified clinicians, including consultant psychiatrists and psychologists. Once registration is complete, regulated treatment services will fall under the CQC framework.
Our administrative base is in Brentwood, Essex, and we offer consultations online and in-person (by appointment). This allows us to provide flexible, accessible services across the UK and internationally.
You can book directly via our website at www.spectrummind.co.uk or by contacting our admin team at info@spectrummind.co.uk or 0203 026 5776. A referral from your GP is not required for private assessments.

No, the cost of our services does not include the cost of medication. While we provide private prescriptions as part of the treatment process, we do not dispense medications directly. Dispensing is carried out by pharmacies, and medication costs are paid to them separately. Please note that a prescription authorises the supply of a medication but is not the medication itself. We recommend checking with your chosen pharmacy for their pricing, as costs may vary depending on the pharmacy and the medication prescribed.

This process usually takes an average of 3–4 months, though it may be shorter or longer depending on individual response and medication type.
