Stephen Pereira

Spear’s Review

Over his three decades practising as a psychiatrist, Dr Stephen Pereira has become attuned to the needs of City highfliers and Mayfair money managers. His practice, The Althea Practice, in London Bridge and on the King's Road,  develops strategies to help high-powered executives cope with stress and manage their frenetic schedules, favouring preventative measures wherever possible. 

His high-profile clients — who have spoken openly about their work with him — include James Middleton and ITV newsreader Tom Bradby, whom he treated for insomnia, as well as former Lloyds Banking Group head honcho António Horta-Osório. 

Prior to private practice Dr Pereira was a leading clinician in NHS hospitals in North London. He has developed university clinical courses and co-authored a globally-significant textbook on best practices for intensive psychiatric care.
