About Us

The Chelsea Psychology Clinic was founded with a clear purpose: to offer a service that embodies the highest standards of mental health treatment, providing a comprehensive and integrated experience that is unmatched. Our approach ensures every individual, every couple and every member of the family, has access to a broad spectrum of specialised interventions and assessments, provided by leaders in their respective fields.

 

With over 20 years of experience in the NHS, our founders, Dr. Elena Touroni and Dr. Tom Pennybacker, envisioned a service where world-class expertise meets evidence-based, tailored treatment. 

Mental Health, Fully Integrated

 

Our co-founders have drawn on their extensive experience within the NHS to establish a practice that stands apart in the private sector. The ambition? To create a service that addresses the often fragmented nature of mental health treatment. We ensure that every patient receives the comprehensive, tailored support they truly deserve.

Our clinics in Chelsea, Harley Street, and Knightsbridge are a testament to this vision, offering an approach to mental health that encompasses the needs of individuals, couples, and families alike. From the nuances of neurodiversity to the complexities of familial dynamics, our team of specialists provide a wide array of psychological and psychiatric services. Our comprehensive offer of services makes it easier for you and your loved to access integrated treatment all under one roof.
