Best for

This practitioner is best suited for adults (18+) with complex or overlapping mental health needs who require both psychiatric expertise and specialised psychotherapy. Typical clients include individuals with mood disorders, anxiety and trauma-related conditions, personality and relational difficulties, and those with co-occurring substance or alcohol misuse.

Approach

Dr Guy Hillman has a collaborative assessment process that places early emphasis on a thorough formulation of a person’s difficulties and life context. Treatment typically begins with an in-depth assessment to identify symptom drivers, personality style and suitable therapeutic modalities.

Their approach integrates multiple psychotherapeutic frameworks (including psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, CBT and mentalisation-based therapy) alongside evidence-informed medication strategies when appropriate. Initial priorities often include crisis stabilisation and symptom management followed by longer-term psychotherapeutic work to address underlying patterns of thought and behaviour.

Sessions are tailored to individual needs and may combine medication review, psychotherapy and psychoeducation. The practitioner reports aiming for transparent discussions about benefits and risks of medication and collaborative decision-making about treatment plans.
