Dr Adrienne Key

Schoen Clinic Chelsea Clinics; in-person on Wednesdays and virtual online appointments on Thursdays.

Dr Adrienne Key is a Consultant Psychiatrist with over 30 years of experience treating a wide range of mental health conditions and psychological difficulties. At Schoen Clinic Chelsea in London, she specialises in adult general psychiatry, with a special interest in the treatment of adults with eating disorders.

Dr Key completed her higher training in adult general psychiatry at St George's Hospital Medical School in London before developing an interest in eating disorders.

The internationally renowned St George's Eating Disorder Service, originally set up by Professor Arthur Crisp, provided a rich academic and clinical environment for her to train in both adult and child & adolescent eating disorders under Professor Hubert Lacey and Professor Bryan Lask. She became senior lecturer at the medical school and Consultant Psychiatrist within the service for several years, publishing widely on a number of subjects including body image treatment and the impact of anorexia nervosa on fertility and brain function.

In 2005 she left the NHS and became the lead consultant at the Priory Hospital, Roehampton Eating Disorder Service and then Medical Director for Eating Disorders to the Priory Group.

Over the last ten years she has been a very active member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists Faculty of Eating Disorders, helping establish the speciality in terms of training standards, resources and treatment guidelines, firstly as secretary to the Special Interest Group and then as a member of the executive committee to the Eating Disorder Section.

She has continued to act as medical advisor to several organisations, including giving evidence to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Body Image, as a panel member to the Model Health Inquiry (MHI) and as an expert opinion within the media.

Her passion has always been working as a clinician and, since 2013 Dr Key has focused on developing an independent, highly specialised outpatient service with a select group of experienced expert clinicians in London called the Chelsea and Harley Street Eating Disorder Service. She expanded this service to the Orchard Clinic in early 2016.
