    You generally need to be referred to a psychiatrist by a GP, so your first step should be to contact your local one & request a referral.

    your request makes me think you might be getting confused with psychologist..

    what are you seeking help for exactly?

    Exactly. You don't want an academic-type psychiatrist, you want one with years of clinical experience. OP go to your GP first to see what sort of care you need and then go from there.

    If it's a psychologist you're looking for, see the Psychology Forum < Science for advise. Read the Stickies first though!

    No I really mean psychiatrist. So I'll tell my friend to go to the GP first.

    A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specialised in psychiatry, after qualifying as a general medical doctor. She or he will have a LOT of study under their belt, and a hell of a lot of clinical experience, but probably won't have an MD (the medical equivalent of a PhD).
