About

Dr. Divina Pillay is a Consultant Psychiatrist at Schoen Clinic Chelsea in London, specialising in mental health conditions, particularly anxiety and depression disorders in adults. With a commitment to providing prompt and effective care, she offers fast private appointments for individuals seeking assistance with their mental health concerns.

With extensive experience in the field, Dr. Pillay has a broad range of expertise in treating adults with various mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, mood disorders such as depression, eating disorders, and addiction.

In addition to her private practice, Dr. Pillay remains actively involved with the NHS through a clinical research post at King's College London. Here, she collaborates with a multidisciplinary research team to explore and trial new therapies for individuals grappling with eating disorders and type 1 diabetes.

Dr. Pillay's professional journey includes training and work in different countries. She initially trained in her home country of South Africa, and she also gained valuable experience in the Republic of Ireland before completing her higher training in psychiatry in London.

Throughout her career, Dr. Pillay has worked across different settings, including inpatient, outpatient, and crisis services. Currently, she holds a Consultant position within eating disorder services in the NHS.

She is a qualified Yoga Therapist and medical cannabis prescriber and works independently with people interested in this model of therapy as well as integrating these mind-body practices into her mental health approach to offer a holistic integrated care approach. 

Dr Pillay is currently training in Ayurvedic approaches to expand her offering to clients.  

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
