We live by these every day
At Psychiatry Direct our values are important to us. They are principles which underpin our business strategy, staff recruitment, client service, communication style and how we treat our network of Psychiatrists.
- Our values are reinforced, celebrated and championed at every opportunity.
- They are respected and reflected in feedback from clients and Associates.
- They are the reason we do what we do, and do it so well.
We are professional and accountable.
We work with professionals and for professionals, therefore it’s only right we display the most professional attitude at all times, holding ourselves to the highest standards of practice. We’re proud of our reputation in the industry for professionalism, which is reflected in the client work we secure and the quality of the Psychiatrists we attract.
We show empathy and respect for all
We believe empathy and respect should come as standard, in any area of business. But in our business the need for empathy is heightened, as the end client for all of us is a human being, often facing major difficulties and challenges in their lives. Our clients, and our Psychiatrists, make a difference in roles which are far from easy. They both deserve, and have, our respect.
We are open, honest and always operate with integrity
From the launch of Psychiatry Direct, our principles of honesty and integrity have been a high priority. Trust is incredibly important; when our clients are under pressure, need help and support, it’s because they trust us that they return for help again and again.
We take pride in what we do and how we deliver for our clients
Our role is to deliver solutions and to do so efficiently. Everyone at Psychiatry Direct is determined to exceed clients’ expectations, which is why we go the extra mile, work incredibly hard, pay close attention to detail, often deliver where others fail and do so with a smile on our face.

Psychiatry Direct has a register of 1000 plus professional Psychologists and Psychiatrists who have been through our robust vetting process. We have a dedicated team of Client Managers in place to take a full briefing on the case, handle all queries, administration, assessment bookings and take responsibility for ensuring reports are supplied to an excellent standard, on time. Our service to you is to work on your behalf, save you time, and give you the peace of mind that the whole process will go smoothly.
In rare cases, if necessary, our Client Managers can ask for the expert’s permission to release their contact details to you if deemed appropriate.
The vast majority of our Psychiatrists are Section 12 approved. If this is a stipulation, your Client Manager will ensure one is assigned to your case.
We vett all of our Psychiatrists prior to registration and only accept applications from psychologists who are registered with the GMC. We also ask that they provide an anonymous copy of a previous report for us to check, before we give them their first instruction. In addition to this all reports are quality checked by our Client Management team prior to being released to you.

Finally, we constantly monitor the performance of our Psychiatrists in terms of their ability to adhere to agreed fees & deadlines as we appreciate that these are also very important.
Absolutely not! Our service is based on providing excellent value – and added value. Not only will you secure an appropriately qualified and skilled Expert Witness for your case without all the time and hassle of searching for one yourself, but we’ll handle all administration, bookings and ensure you get the report on time and have a dedicated manager at your beck and call too. You won’t pay any extra for this service than you would by going direct to a professional and all our Psychiatrists work to Legal Aid rates for your peace of mind.
Unfortunately, we only work business to business, through solicitors, local authorities and other agencies involved in legal proceedings such as the CPS or Courts. If you are a private individual looking for a psychiatrist, please speak with your GP.
All reports are the responsibility of our team of Client Managers. Not only will they ensure they are delivered to the timescales needed, but all reports will be 100% proofread and quality checked to ensure all questions are answered and addressed, that the report fulfils the purpose needed and that any recommendations are comprehensive and clear.
