Private Psychiatrist in London | English & Cantonese Sessions
about dr marcella fok
I am a Consultant Psychiatrist based in London with over 20 years of experience in the NHS, including 10 years as a consultant. I have been in private practice since 2017 and am a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. I work with adults across the lifespan, assessing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions.
I have particular expertise in medication review and rationalisation, helping patients safely optimise or reduce medications where clinically appropriate. De-prescribing is a key focus of my practice.
As a medical psychotherapist, I integrate psychotherapeutic understanding into all aspects of psychiatric care, providing a holistic approach to mental health. I offer sessions in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, supporting clients who prefer to speak in their first language.
