Dr Shamila Moodley is an experienced and highly regarded Consultant Psychiatrist, with over two decades’ expertise in private and NHS practice. Trained entirely at leading London teaching hospitals, she has built an outstanding reputation for her intelligent, sensitive, and highly personalised approach to mental healthcare.

After senior NHS roles at Chelsea & Westminster and West London Mental Health Trust, including leadership of Crisis and Liaison services, Assertive Outreach and Recovery Teams, Dr Moodley moved exclusively into private practice and is now a key part of the psychiatric team at Central Health London.

Her clinical expertise covers a broad spectrum of mental health concerns, with particular specialisms in depression, anxiety, work-related stress, adult ADHD, and women’s mental health, especially during the peri-menopause and menopause. She is known for her ability to build trusted, long-term relationships with her patients, offering thoughtful, discreet support at every stage of their mental health journey.

Dr Moodley integrates traditional psychiatric care with the latest advances in personalised medicine, including pharmacogenetic testing (Myogenes) to guide medication choices, and is among the first consultants in London to offer Alpha-Stim, a highly effective, FDA-approved treatment for anxiety, depression, insomnia and pain. Her practice is holistic and forward-thinking, combining biological, psychological and social approaches to support lasting recovery and wellbeing.

Fluent in French and conversational in Spanish, Dr Moodley provides a refined, individualised service for patients seeking the highest standards of mental healthcare in a calm, confidential setting.
