Maintaining good mental health is crucial for people of all ages in today's fast-paced world. In England, each year 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem of some kind.
At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we understand the unique challenges faced by both adults and young people, offering comprehensive care across four key modalities: Adult Mental Health, Adult Eating Disorders (ED), and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), including support for eating disorders.
Recognising the Need for Mental Health Support
Mental health issues can affect anyone, regardless of age or background. Identifying signs early can make a significant difference in treatment outcomes. Not everyone struggling with their mental health will experience the same signs.
Additionally, if you only occasionally experience some of these symptoms, such as stress and anxiety, that does not necessarily mean you have a mental health condition. Generally, if you notice a large shift in personality, day to day habits and mood that doesn’t go away, it can be a good idea to seek help.
Here are some indicators that you or someone you know might be in need of support:
For Adults
Changes in mood or behaviour over a period of time
Difficulty coping with daily stresses and social situations
Isolating from friends and family
Changes in sleep patterns or appetite
This can include too little or too much sleep, over- or under-eating
Decreased performance at work
For Children and Adolescents
Sudden changes in academic performance
Excessive worry or anxiety
Isolating from friends and family
Frequent outbursts or extreme irritability
Changes in eating habits
Difficulty concentrating or sitting still
If you notice these signs in yourself, your child, or a loved one, it's essential to reach out for professional help. Remember, seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Dr James Woolley on Our Patient-Centric Approach
Dr James Woolley, consultant psychiatrist and ADHD specialist at Schoen Clinic Chelsea, shares his perspective on our unique approach to mental health care:
"At Schoen Clinic Chelsea, we believe in treating the whole person, not just their symptoms. This philosophy extends across all our services, from treating adults to our work with children and adolescents. Our patient-centric approach means we take the time to understand each individual's unique experiences, challenges, and goals.
We work collaboratively with our patients and, in the case of young people, and their families, to develop personalised treatment plans. Our multidisciplinary team ensures that patients receive support from various specialists, creating a holistic treatment experience. We're committed to empowering our patients with the tools and knowledge they need to achieve lasting mental wellness, regardless of their age or specific challenges."
A Patient's Journey to Recovery
One of Dr Woolley's patients shares their experience at Schoen Clinic Chelsea:
"I have struggled with bouts of depersonalisation since the age of 16 and through the work at the Schoen Clinic, I feel I have never been in a better position or have a greater understanding of my condition, which is invaluable." – written by a private patient at Schoen Clinic Chelsea
