About Professor Michael Bloomfield
I'm an award-winning general adult psychiatrist who works with adults. I am trained both in psychopharmacology (using medication) and in cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), a type of psychotherapy (talking therapy). I am a Principal Clinical Research Fellow at University College London (UCL) where I lead a research group. In the NHS I work at the Traumatic Stress Clinic at St Pancras Hospital and the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. I regularly lecture at UCL and I have been invited to lecture internationally. I teach students in medicine, psychology and the neurosciences, as well as doctors undertaking specialist post-graduate training in psychiatry.
I am particularly interested in treating depression, psychosis and schizoprenia spectrum disorders, post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) including Complex PTSD and dissociation, anxiety disorders and people who struggle with regulating their own emotions and maintaining stable relationships. I have an interest in neuropsychiatry. I am also interested in helping people who are neurodiverse, have difficulties with attention inlucluding ADHD and people who are on the autistic spectrum.
I have published over 100 articles in leading peer-reviewed journals including Nature, the Lancet Psychiatry, World Psychiatry and the British Medical Journal.
I undertook my medical degree at the University of Oxford, before working in London and the Channel Islands. As a junior doctor I worked as an air ambulance doctor - which I loved. I went on to train in psychiatry at Charing Cross Hospital and later became a Medical Research Council clinical research fellow at Hammersmith Hospital where I did a PhD in Clinical Medicine at Imperial College London. I am a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. I have built up a wealth of experience in the NHS, including community mental health, acute in-patient psychiatry, treatment-resistant psychosis, severe mental illness, crisis resolution and helping people with personality disorder diagnoses. I have advanced training in enhanced cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) from the University of Oxford. I have a certificate in Psychopharmacology from the British Association for Psychopharmacology. I am an approved clinician under section 12 of the Mental Health Act.

Professor Bloomfield is kind, patient, positive and clearly an expert in his field. I honestly don't know where I would be without his support and expertise. I have seen other psychiatrists, who were good, but Professor Bloomfield has been a class above. I feel much healthier than when I had my first appointment with him and I'm really grateful for this. He is kind and humble and I have never once felt like he has talked down to me, which is a wonderful quality.

He has very clear communication for mental illness. There is continuity of care at his practice so he can tell if someone is becoming unwell again. I am happy that he is looking after my medication for the mental illness and also monitoring my physical health. In my opinion he is a very good psychiatrist.
Dear Patient, Thank you for your review. We are very pleased to hear you feel well supported in your care and we will be sure to pass on your positive words to Prof Bloomfield.

Michael has helped me to get back on track after a profoundly awful and largely unexpected (in terms of its significance) health crisis, but also to unlock a subsequent diagnostic exercise in neurodiversity, in my case later in life. Aside from being at the top of his game, Michael’s approach appeared to me to harness the discipline of psychiatric and psychotherapeutic treatment and pathways with an overall approach of huge care and respect for me as an individual. I can’t thank Michael enough for bringing me back to health and also enabling me to recover and deepen my confidence, and to enable me to make life ‘worth living’, particularly in terms of my journey of self-discovery for ADHD and autism, and accessing other sources of support, following my ND diagnosis, within the overall mental health arena. Michael is flexible in his approach whilst maintaining professional boundaries and this enables a large degree of trust and, fairly quickly, a sense of ‘ease’, from my perspective as a patient, within the period of treatment and during times which were, overall, incredibly difficult.
Dear Patient, Thank you very much for your positive review! We are pleased to hear that Prof Bloomfield has helped you in many ways. We work really hard to offer the best treatment and environment. We are glad to see that reflected on your visit.
