I am Dr Enone McKenzie, a Consultant Psychiatrist with a longstanding commitment to helping adults achieve better mental health through thoughtful, individualised, evidence-based care. I see adults aged 18 and over, and my work is grounded in a whole-person approach that considers not only symptoms and diagnosis, but also the wider biological, psychological and lifestyle factors that shape emotional wellbeing. My clinical background spans general practice, NHS psychiatry and private practice, giving me a broad and practical understanding of the many ways mental health difficulties can present across different stages of life.

I began my medical career in South Africa, where I qualified as a doctor and worked as a general practitioner. In 1995, I moved to the UK and went on to specialise in psychiatry in London. Over the years, I have worked extensively with adults experiencing a wide range of mental health challenges, including anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, bipolar disorder, psychosis, schizophrenia and ADHD. My experience as an NHS consultant psychiatrist in community mental health services gave me deep insight into assessment, diagnosis and long-term treatment, and it continues to inform the compassionate, practical and collaborative way I work with patients today.

A central focus of my work is women’s mental health, particularly the complex relationship between hormones and psychological wellbeing. I am especially passionate about supporting women during perimenopause and menopause, whether they are facing new symptoms for the first time or noticing a worsening of pre-existing mental health conditions. I believe women’s mental health must be understood in the context of hormonal life stages, and I have spoken and written publicly about the need for greater hormone literacy in mental healthcare so that women receive more accurate diagnoses, earlier intervention and more effective support.

I am also deeply interested in adult ADHD and offer assessment, medication management and broader lifestyle support, including guidance around sleep, stress management, exercise and nutritional strategies. My approach is integrative: I combine medical expertise with a strong belief in empowering people to take an active role in their recovery and long-term wellbeing. Alongside my psychiatric training, I have completed the Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice course through the Institute of Functional Medicine, which reflects my interest in the connection between mind, body and overall health.

In addition to my clinical work, I serve as Head of Soke Women, a specialist service dedicated to understanding mental health through a mind-body lens, with hormonal balance at its core. Across all of my work, my aim is to create a supportive, respectful and understanding space where people feel heard, properly assessed and confidently guided toward treatment that is tailored to their needs. I am committed to delivering care that is both clinically rigorous and deeply human, helping each person move toward greater stability, resilience and quality of life
