- Is This You?
You've tried everything.
We get it.
Most of our patients come to us after years of trying different treatments — multiple antidepressants, therapy in every form, sometimes inpatient care. If any of these feel familiar, we can help.
Previous treatments haven't helped
You've tried the standard options without lasting results, or the side effects were too much.
You've been struggling for years
Depression, PTSD, anxiety, OCD, or suicidal ideation that's stayed with you no matter what you've tried. You deserve something better.
You want real answers
Not just another short appointment. A proper plan, built around you, with a specialist who actually listens.
You want somewhere safe
A private, calm space with one dedicated consultant — not a waiting room and a different doctor every time.
- How We Help
A treatment plan that's actually about you.
Your consultant builds a personalised programme around your history, your struggles, and what will genuinely help you get better. No guesswork. No generic plans.
Full Psychiatric Assessment
A thorough assessment with a consultant psychiatrist — not a GP, not a nurse. Someone who specialises in treatment-resistant conditions.
Treatment History Review
We'll review your full clinical history — what's been tried, what worked, what didn't — and design a programme around it.
Specialist Therapeutic Support
Treatment tailored to your specific needs — not a one-size-fits-all approach. Your consultant will recommend what's right for you.

- The Science
The science behind rapid-acting interventions
For a majority of patients, standard antidepressants work. But for a significant minority, they don’t — and standard treatment may not lead to full remission. SSRIs act on the monoamine systems — serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine — which involve a small proportion of the brain’s neurons. Ketamine instead acts on the glutamate system, which accounts for around 80% of synapses in the brain’s outer layer (the neocortex) and is far more widespread.

- Why Save Minds
This isn't just treatment. It's a programme.
We combine specialist psychiatric care with continuous monitoring — so both you and your clinician can see exactly what’s working.
We track your progress
No guessing. We measure your improvement at every stage using clinically validated tools — so you can see what's changing.
You see your own data
Mood tracking, sleep scores, wellbeing checks — all visible to you. It's your progress, and you should be able to see it.
One consultant. Yours.
Not a different doctor every visit. One dedicated specialist who knows your history and adapts your programme as you improve.
Decisions based on real data
Treatment adjustments aren't based on a 10-minute chat. They're based on your actual clinical data — what's working and what isn't.
Built entirely around you
No two programmes are the same. Yours is designed around your diagnosis, your lifestyle, and your goals.
Specialist treatment options
Treatment options that are not routinely available in standard care, delivered following individual assessment and with clinical supervision.
- Built In-House
Daily check-ins. Real clinical data.
Our proprietary app sends you a short daily check-in from day one. Your responses, combined with nine clinically validated scales reviewed directly by your consultant, build a precise, real-time picture of your progress.
Your consultant uses this data to refine and personalise your programme at every stage — so every decision is driven by evidence, not assumption.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the things people most often ask. The full FAQ has more.
Is this NHS or covered by insurance?
No. Save Minds is a private clinic. Ketamine treatment for mental health is currently not covered by insurance as it’s considered “off-label,” and we don’t offer NHS funding. Fees are paid as you attend each session — no large upfront payments.
Do I need a GP referral?
No referral needed. You can book a free discovery call directly, and our team will guide you through eligibility.
What conditions do you treat?
Treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, complex PTSD, OCD, and severe suicidal ideation — typically for adults who haven’t responded to multiple antidepressants and/or therapy.
How quickly will I see results?
Response times vary by diagnosis and individual circumstances. Outcomes are monitored using validated clinical measures, and your consultant will review your progress with you throughout.
Is the treatment safe?
Our programme has recognised risks and is not suitable for everyone. At Save Minds, treatment is provided only following individual medical and psychiatric assessment. Each treatment session is administered by a consultant, with physiological monitoring during intravenous administration and post-treatment observation. Patients receive information about expected effects, recognised risks, off-label prescribing and uncertainties before consenting. Individual outcomes and adverse effects vary.
Experiences vary between patients and between sessions. Anxiety, dissociation, perceptual changes or other adverse experiences can occur, and are assessed and managed clinically. You can communicate with your consultant at any point during a session.
Importantly, you remain safe and supported at all times. You can communicate with your Consultant throughout, and if needed, the experience can be quickly managed through reassurance or adjustment. At Save Minds, patient safety and comfort are our top priorities.
How many sessions will I need?
A typical programme is 15–20 sessions over 4–6 months, with the frequency gradually tapering as you improve. Some patients benefit from occasional maintenance sessions after completing the main programme; this is assessed individually with your consultant.
Take the first step. We'll guide the rest.
