I met Dr Kampers at the lowest point of my life. I had not only come out of a difficult surgery which had many complications, but my 12 year old son was shortly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. As a result of these events I developed severe anxieties. I was extremely scared that something would happen to my child; I could not sleep for 3 months. I started to develop fasciculations all over my body. After only a few months of seeing Dr Kampers, I managed to regain my emotional, mental and thus physical strength. I now feel even better than before as I have learnt to be calmer, less reactive and more in control of my ups and downs. He is very intelligent. I respect and trust his judgements. He instantly makes you feel comfortable and you feel as though you have built a connection with him right away - only a few minutes into therapy. I have and always will recommend him to everyone!

Great professional, who provides reassurance and he is the only doctor that manages to make me feel better and calm me down while facing my long term illness. I strongly recommend Dr Kampers.

During the COVID crisis I found myself in crisis. I knew I needed help and I contacted Dr. Kampers. I was initially concerned that the only available option was a consultation over Skype/Zoom. My initial reaction was 'this is not what I want!’. I wanted to be there in person because I felt that was thinly way to make him understand what I was going through. I couldn’t be more wrong! After a few seconds on the call I felt relaxed and I the communication between us flowed naturally. In someways it worked out better for me. I was in my own home and felt safe. I did not have the stress of getting there or dealing with a clinic environment which could have felt a little hostile. I would like to report that over a number of these sessions, Dr. Kampers has taken me from the bad place I was at to someone who is holding down a job and is now looking forward to a bright future. If the thoughts of having a Skype/Zoom conversation is putting you off, please don’t let it. My experience shows that you will get first class care. EC

I met Dr Kampers in the June of 2019. He was faced with a patient who had just been diagnosed with a condition that affected not only the brain but lots of other awful physical symptoms. In my books, it would be a case of where do you begin with this one? We have been on a journey of discovery trying to work out what meds or supplements would be appropriate. He has been totally open to learning about my condition. One year on, I am able to walk, gentle run again. My mental health has returned to a satisfactory status on the whole, which is a miracle compared to where I was. He is always there for advice, and very much gives you confidence in yourself in control of your medication etc. Basically, Dr Kampers saved my life, I can't put it more bluntly than that. He is empathetic, willing to communicate and listen to the opinions of other specialists such as my immunologist. Throughout my period of illness, I have had total confidence in him. A very special doctor indeed!

I would certainly recommend Dr Wayne Kampers. I was suffering from tinnitus which lead to insomnia and very high levels of anxiety. Dr Kampers gave me the confidence and optimism that 'we will get this fixed'. Under the care of Dr Kampers my anxiety was reduced very quickly and I now have a structured plan to deal with my tinnitus. My only regret was that I didn't go to Dr Kampers earlier as initially I explored the GP route. Dr Kampers has great knowledge, expertise and very importantly empathy.

Profile

Earlier in my career as the medical director of a busy GP practice in Canada, I was often frustrated by the limitations of addressing mental health issues in ten-minute consultations. I wanted more time to listen to my patients, hear their stories, ask questions, and understand the context in which their symptoms arose before diagnosis and treatment. And thus began my journey to the UK, and into psychiatry.

I have been practising medicine for over 35 years, and as an Integrative Consultant Psychiatrist for over 25 years.

I am a highly specialised and experienced doctor with a broad range of expertise and clinical skills in General Practice, General Adult and Elderly Care Psychiatry.

I have always had a curious and inquisitive mindset, especially about what I consider to be the blind spots in Western Medicine, specifically:
• Undiagnosed and untreated ADHD
• Medically unexplained symptoms and chronic pain and the inadequate and often myopic approach to these areas of medicine, where patients are most frequently subjected to medical gaslighting.
• Female hormonal mental health issues.
I recognise that precision medicine using genetic testing as a blueprint and platform facilitates the optimal functional medicine approach and that the future of psychiatry is inextricably linked to psychedelics and best combined with psychedelic and integration assisted therapy.

I believe mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing are all equally important, and go hand in hand.

My approach as an Integrative Consultant Psychiatrist focuses on mind-body-spirit optimisation, and I assess individuals as a whole and in context.

I am a mind-body and trauma informed expert clinician, who uses a biopsychosocial and evidence-based approach to chronic primary pain, chronic functional syndromes, and medically unexplained symptoms.

I use a diagnostic hierarchy approach, which implies that certain diagnoses should not be made when others are present. My approach contrasts with the traditional DSM and ICD based approach of making multiple diagnoses at the same time which can lend itself to the problems of comorbidity and polypharmacy.

The core aspect of my approach to clinical psychopharmacology is the importance of recognising and tackling this comorbidity problem, thereby avoiding all diagnoses are created equal approach, which often leads to unnecessary treatments.

My special interests are:
• Chronic Primary Pain (neuroplastic pain) and Mindbody Medicine (Psychophysiologic Disorders)
• Undiagnosed and untreated ADHD and ADD
• Female Hormonal Mental Health
• Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and
• The role of Cannabis Based Medicinal Products in Mental Health.
I am a member of the Psychophysiologic Disorders Association listed in their Directory Practitioner Directory

I am the only UK based Medical Doctor (Physician) and Consultant Psychiatrist skilled in the diagnostic assessment and treatment of these conditions and all associated comorbid mental health conditions.

I am a member of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), the World Institute of Pain and The British Pain Society.

I have recovered from neuroplastic pain myself and developed The Pain Recovery Program

I also have a residential Pain Recovery Program which is based in South Africa near the Kruger National Park
White River Manor Pain Recovery Program

I am a member of Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies and a certified Ketamine Assisted Therapist.

I am the Consultant lead for 2 Intravenous Ketamine Assisted Therapy Clinics in London and also offer Ketamine Assisted Therapy using oral Ketamine Lozenges.

I recognise that MDMA and Psilocybin assisted therapy can help heal psychological disorders and trauma and will incorporate these and all other psychedelics as soon as I can legally prescribe them which will then facilitate evidence based micro dosing.

I am a member of the Medical Cannabis Clinicians Society and the Medicinal Institute of Education and have had expert medical cannabis training specifically for UK doctors.

I am registered with Script Assist which enables independent practitioners to prescribe medical cannabis in their existing clinics and is subjected to Streamlined Clinical Governance Data Lead Formulary and involves Doctor/ Patient Goal Setting.

I am the only Consultant Psychiatrist in the UK that offers any and all of these programs.

I consider myself to be one of the most forward and lateral thinking psychiatrists in the UK and my approach values integrity, perseverance, and curiosity.

I integrate traditional medical and psychiatric approaches and work closely with complementary healthcare practitioners registered with the Complimentary & Natural Healthcare Council and trauma informed expert coaches, working closely with Trauma Informed Coaches.

Thanks to a progressive career spanning three continents, patients can be assured of an approach that is international in outlook and sensitive to different cultures, expectations, and norms.
