About Dr James Woolley
I've been a consultant psychiatrist for over 15 years and during that time have been fortunate enough to work at some of the leading hospitals in London, both privately and within the NHS. I'm experienced in treating a range of mental health conditions in adults and have close links with a wide group of accredited psychologists, therapists and other specialists to provide comprehensive, tailored treatment plans. I'm approved by all major healthcare insurers (BUPA, AXA / PPP, Aviva, Cigna, BWI, Simplyhealth, PruHealth, WPA etc.). GPs, occupational health physicians, employers, courts, solicitors and of course patients themselves can all make referrals. Expertise I have particular expertise in the diagnosis and treatment (both medical and psychological) of many conditions including: • Depression • Bipolar disorder • Alcohol dependence • Anxiety • Panic attacks • Stress - especially work / profile related • Psychosis • Schizophrenia • OCD • ADHD in adults And many others, especially where mental health conditions overlap with physical illnesses. I frequently provide second opinions about diagnosis or treatment plans and am able to treat patients sectioned under the Mental Heath Act. I am a fully trained medical doctor, registered and licensed by the General Medical Council and an elected Fellow of both the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Psychiatrists. I also have enhanced CRB/DBS clearance and am approved by the Secretary of State under Section 12(2) of the Mental Health Act 1983 as having special expertise in the assessment of mental disorder. This means I can be the consultant for patients who are detained (sectioned) under the Mental Health Act, and am an 'Approved Clinician'. I'm also trained and experienced in preparing detailed medical reports for solicitors and courts. Where I work I have run mental health services at a variety of world-renowned central London private and NHS teaching hospitals, and in independent healthcare, worked at Priory Hospital Roehampton for 14 years, more recently moving on to become a founding lead consultant and Medical Director at Schoen Clinic Chelsea.
