Who are Lichfield Psychiatric Chambers?
Lichfield Psychiatric Chambers operates as the private practice of Dr Rik Coetzee, who is registered as a sole trader. The practice is primarily managed and overseen by Dr Coetzee, providing psychiatric services and care to clients. In certain instances, Rik may refer clients to other self-employed clinicians. Such referrals may occur in order to facilitate psychotherapeutic treatment, or in cases where there is a significant waiting list for appointments with Rik. These clinicians are also self-employed and work independently, ensuring that clients receive timely and appropriate care when required.
Our practice places a particular emphasis on the assessment and treatment of adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as well as post-traumatic conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for these specific conditions, ensuring that individuals receive tailored support and interventions to address their unique needs.
In addition to our specialist services for ADHD and post-traumatic conditions, we are also equipped to offer assessment and treatment for a broad range of adult mental health issues. Our expertise extends to supporting adults experiencing challenges such as anxiety and depression, among other conditions. This wide-ranging approach allows us to deliver holistic mental health care, ensuring that clients benefit from thorough evaluation and evidence-based treatment for a variety of concerns.
We are registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and our registration number is 1-22151904611.
Why Choose Lichfield Psychiatric Chambers?
We prioritise patient-centred care and delivering evidence-based interventions in a confidential and supportive environment. We aim to provide a bespoke service for patients based on their individual situation and needs.
Personalised Treatment Plans
We are committed to providing bespoke treatment following a thorough assessment of each individual’s mental health needs. Our approach ensures that every aspect of care is tailored to address the unique circumstances and requirements of our patients. By focusing on personalised solutions, we strive to maximise the prospects for recovery and overall wellness.
Expert Professionals
Our dedicated and experienced affiliated clinicians are committed to providing compassionate care and fostering a therapeutic environment that supports recovery. Each clinician brings a wealth of expertise, ensuring that all patients receive high-quality and empathetic support throughout their journey to wellness. When inviting independently practising clinicians to join this referral hub, Lichfield Psychiatric Chambers carefully applied the “family test.” This means that only clinicians who we would be comfortable recommending to a member of our own families were invited to join. This approach underlines our dedication to the highest standards of care and professionalism.
Evidenced-based treatment
We are committed to providing evidence-based treatment tailored to address your specific difficulties. Our clinicians consistently use the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines as the foundation for developing treatment plans. This ensures that our recommendations are rooted in the latest research and best practices within the field. While NICE guidelines serve as our starting point, we recognise that every individual has unique needs. There may be circumstances where strictly following these guidelines may not be the most suitable course of action for you. In such cases, your clinician will openly discuss their reasons for suggesting a different approach, enabling you to make an informed decision about your treatment options.
Cost-effective treatment
We recognise that a significant number of patients opt for private healthcare services due to the lengthy waiting lists commonly experienced within the NHS. This decision, while often necessary to access timely treatment, can unfortunately lead to financial pressures for individuals and their families. Our fees are designed to remain competitive within the current market. We are committed to transparency and strive to provide you with a clear understanding of the costs involved at the outset of your care. This approach ensures that you are well informed about any financial commitments before proceeding with treatment.
