Private Psychiatrist Cost UK 2026: Consultation & Follow-Up Fees
What private psychiatrist fees in the UK cover for initial consultations, follow-ups, reports and prescriptions, the fees named providers publish, and NHS vs private routes.
Quick answer: NHS psychiatry is free but normally requires GP referral and local triage. Private psychiatrists charge separately for an initial consultation and for follow-ups, and letters, reports and prescriptions may be extra. Check the consultant's registration, the appointment length and what the fee includes.
