Cognacity

Cognacity is a UK based mental health and performance provider that brings together psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists to support both individuals and organisations. The service is positioned as “global experts in mental health and performance”, working across the full spectrum from mental illness to resilience and high performance for corporate clients and elite sport. Clinical care is described as evidence based, delivered by a multidisciplinary team, and tailored to each person’s needs, whether they are seeking assessment and treatment for a diagnosed condition or support with stress and psychological wellbeing.

Service

Cognacity provides outpatient mental health clinics, online mental health services, coaching, organisational wellbeing programmes and advisory services. Individual clinical services cover psychiatry and psychology for a wide range of mental health conditions, including mood, anxiety, neurodevelopmental, eating, addiction and sleep disorders, delivered through in person clinics in London (Marylebone and Chelsea) and Beaconsfield, as well as video and telephone consultations for patients anywhere in the UK. Alongside one to one treatment, Cognacity offers coaching and high performance services for companies and sports teams, plus organisational wellbeing and resilience training that draws on expertise in psychology, nutrition, sleep and related fields. The organisation also publishes mental health resources that explain conditions and symptoms in accessible language.

Safety

Cognacity operates regulated mental health clinics with CQC registration and ICO registration for data protection, and works with most major private medical insurers. The team emphasises a structured, professional process for accessing care, with options for GP referral where required by insurance, and clear policies on privacy, information sharing with GPs, and complaints. Telepsychiatry and remote therapy are offered when clinically appropriate, with an expressed preference for face to face assessments where possible. Children and adolescents are seen within defined age ranges at specific clinic locations, and information on fees, cancellations and session funding is provided in advance so that patients understand the terms of their care.

Care pathway

A typical patient journey starts when someone contacts Cognacity by phone, email or online enquiry form, indicating what they need help with and any preferences for clinician, funding route and location or online sessions. The team then recommends an appropriate clinician and, where relevant, the patient arranges a GP referral letter to satisfy insurance requirements. Once an appointment is booked, the patient attends an initial assessment – usually face to face, with video or telephone options if clinically acceptable – and then continues with follow up psychiatry or psychology sessions as agreed. For organisations, Cognacity appraises the challenges they face and designs evidence based training or advisory programmes, for example resilience interventions to help staff cope with chronic stress and risk of burnout while maintaining performance.
