Dr Nik is a Consultant Psychiatrist working for the NHS as a Liaison Psychiatrist and for a number of private hospitals in Brighton, Harley Street (London), Hastings, Eastbourne, Crawley and Tunbridge Wells. He has vast and in-depth experience in a full range of mental health conditions ranging from the minor to the most severe and adopts a combination of psychological, biological, and social approaches in his practice.

“At the first two hour appointment, I knew that Dr Nik was different from the psychiatrists I had seen previously. He actually listened to what I was saying and took my concerns and ideas seriously-wow- that was a first! It seemed to me that for the first time ever my needs and wishes were more important than those of the psychiatrist.”

“I feel incredibly grateful that I have the pleasure of knowing Dr Nik, He is a truly incredible person who has helped me to change my life.”

“Dr Nik Gkampranis has helped me so much, he is highly insightful, kind and caring person that I would trust with my life without hesitation. He is so patient, understanding and non-judgemental – I can talk about anything with him and he gently helps me to see and understand where I need to focus to heal myself.”

“After eighteen months of treatment for depression that involved me in a continuously changing regime of antipsychotics and antidepressants and even a few weeks in hospital, I decided to get a second opinion and I feel very lucky to have found to Dr Nik Gkampranis for that second opinion.”
