About
Dr Geoff Lawrence-Smith is a Consultant Psychiatrist who works both independently at the Priory Wellbeing Centre on Harley Street and within the NHS at the Department of Psychological Medicine at the Royal London Hospital and St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London. He has over ten years of experience working full-time for the NHS across various trusts in London and Southeast England, including Oxleas, East London Foundation Trust, and South London and Maudsley. His clinical expertise spans general adult community psychiatry, consultation-liaison psychiatry, and perinatal psychiatry, with a particular interest in treatment-resistant mood disorders.
At the Priory, Dr Lawrence-Smith provides care for individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, and personality disorders. He is experienced in supporting people with complex presentations, including those with schizophrenia and autistic spectrum conditions, and offers Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for patients with depression and anxiety who have not responded to conventional treatment approaches. His role at the Priory complements his NHS practice, where he continues to deliver acute care and clinical supervision in liaison psychiatry and cancer care, working closely with patients in crisis across emergency departments, medical and surgical wards, and outpatient settings.
His commitment to collaborative, recovery-focused care is reflected in his longstanding work with multidisciplinary teams, including his time conducting perinatal psychiatry clinics alongside community midwives to support women during and after pregnancy. As the clinical lead for a neuromodulation service in East London, he plays a key role in developing new pathways for individuals with complex treatment needs.
Dr Lawrence-Smith trained in medicine at University College London and completed a BSc in Psychology with Basic Medical Sciences. He undertook his psychiatry training in North East London and Camden and Islington NHS Trusts, followed by higher specialist training on the Maudsley Rotational scheme. He became a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists in 2006 and holds a postgraduate certificate in academic practice from King’s College London.
In addition to his clinical work, Dr Lawrence-Smith has contributed to several research studies and publications, including work on lamotrigine in borderline personality disorder and qualitative studies on patient experiences in liaison psychiatry.
“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
