Update on DocHealth – 21 August 2025
DocHealth is a confidential, not for profit psychotherapy service for all practising doctors, delivered online by doctors who are specialist Consultant Medical Psychotherapists. The service helps doctors, who self-refer, to explore difficulties, both professional and personal.
Referrals to the service during and since the covid pandemic have significantly escalated resulting in longer waits for appointments. DocHealth is undergoing a process of restructuring to respond to the increased demand and to take this forward is taking a pause in accepting new referrals from 4pm on Friday 22 August 2025.
In the interim therapeutic options can be discussed by contacting the clinical team via enquiries@dochealth.org.uk with your name and contact details. We expect to reopen to new referrals shortly, do check the website for further updates.
This does not affect patients currently attending the service, or those who are confirmed on the waiting list. All patients currently confirmed on the waiting list and currently in treatment with our doctors will be supported in completing their therapy. If in any doubt, please email enquiries@dochealth.org.uk
We apologise for any inconvenience during this transition period and appreciate your understanding.
