About

Where science meets compassion

MindMonks exists because good psychiatric care is too often either rushed, expensive, or hard to find at all.

  • 2 clinicians, both named on this site
  • 15 years of combined experience
  • 10,000+ patients treated in training

Why we started

Most people who finally reach a psychiatrist have waited years. When they get there, the appointment is often ten minutes long, in a crowded room, with barely time to describe what has been happening.

MindMonks is an attempt at the opposite: appointments long enough to hear the whole story, clinicians who tell you what they are thinking and why, and a plan written down in language you can actually use.

The name is deliberate. The monk stands for stillness and attention; the brain for the science. Neither works well without the other.

What we hold ourselves to

Evidence first

Treatments that have been tested, offered at the doses and durations the evidence supports.

No moralising

You will not be lectured about willpower, discipline or attitude. That is not treatment.

Written down

You leave with the plan in writing, so you are not relying on memory afterwards.

Honest about limits

When online care is not the right setting for you, we will say so and help you find what is.
