- 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
Why ketamine works when antidepressants don't.
Up to 30% of people do not respond to traditional antidepressants. This is because SSRIs focus primarily on serotonin, a chemical system responsible for only a small fraction of the brain’s overall communication network. Ketamine works through a completely different pathway: the glutamate system, the brain’s primary messaging network that drives roughly 80% of all cellular communication, learning, and adaptability.
In as little as 24 hours, ketamine triggers the growth of new neural connections. This restores the brain’s natural ability to change, heal, and break free from negative patterns. It is why over 75%+ of patients who have tried everything else finally find relief at Save Minds.

- 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.
Cutting-edge treatments
Access to advanced options that most clinics simply don't offer — always evidence-based and clinically supervised.
- 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.

- Conditions We Treat
Specialist care for complex conditions.
- treatment-resistant
Depression
Targeted, fast-acting treatment for people who haven’t responded to multiple antidepressants. Ketamine works through the glutamate system to restore the brain’s natural adaptability — often within weeks rather than months.
- refractory
Anxiety
For chronic, treatment-resistant anxiety that hasn’t responded to medication or therapy. Our approach modulates the overactive neural circuits underlying hyperarousal and rumination.
- trauma
PTSD & Complex PTSD
Treatment for trauma-related symptoms when conventional therapies haven’t been enough. We help reduce hyperarousal, intrusive memories, and emotional dysregulation through neural rewiring.
- obsessive-compulsive
OCD
For treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder. Our programme targets the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuit, helping reset maladaptive thought patterns and compulsive behaviours.
- rapid intervention
Suicidal Ideation
Rapid intervention for severe, acute suicidal thoughts. For most patients, ideation reduces meaningfully within the first 5–6 sessions — often when nothing else has worked.

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 therapy 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?
Most patients begin to notice improvements within the first few sessions. Around 50% see a significant reduction in depression and anxiety within the first 10 treatments. PTSD and OCD often take longer.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes. Treatment is delivered in a private clinical setting under continuous monitoring by a dual consultant in Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine. We’ve safely delivered over 7,500+ treatments to 900+ patients.
Most patients tolerate the treatment well, and many describe the experience as calm, introspective, and sometimes even pleasant. Across a typical course of 10 treatments, around 6 sessions are experienced as very positive and therapeutic. Some sessions may feel more emotionally intense or bring up anxiety, which can be part of the process. Occasionally, particularly at higher doses later in treatment, some patients describe more unusual or intense experiences.
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. Around 30–35% of patients need maintenance treatments every six to twelve weeks.
Take the first step. We'll guide the rest.
