Dr Hossein Rostamipour is a Consultant Psychiatrist with over 13 years of experience in both the NHS and private practice. In 2022, he founded Eton Psychiatrists with a clear vision: to create a boutique, specialist neuro-affirmative practice dedicated to mental well-being.

Dr Rostamipour has diverse experience assessing and treating hundreds of patients with ADHD and Autism each year, enabling him to manage complex cases and develop bespoke, safe, and optimised management plans.

He has seen firsthand how often these conditions remain undiagnosed, especially in high-functioning individuals. Many people struggle for years with symptoms such as low mood, anxiety, addiction, or relationship difficulties, often without responding to traditional treatment because the root cause of their challenges has been missed.
Dr Rostamipour’s philosophy is that a successful assessment is not a rigid checklist but a supportive, collaborative, and flexible process tailored to each patient’s unique life and circumstances. He views a diagnosis not merely as a label, but as a profound turning point—a moment of clarity that empowers individuals on a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and well-being.
He conducts holistic, nuanced evaluations that include essential screening for co-occurring conditions. This comprehensive approach is vital for creating a clear diagnostic picture and ensuring that treatment goals are realistic and effective.
Treatment under his care is viewed as a collaborative journey. After completing all mandatory safety and health screenings based on NICE guidelines, he explores all available options. He regards medication as a valuable tool that can provide a stable foundation, allowing more effective engagement with neurodivergent-affirming therapy, coaching, and other holistic supports.
His ultimate goal is to help patients understand their strengths, navigate their challenges, and build lives that are not only manageable but truly fulfilling.
While Dr Rostamipour has extensive experience across inpatient and outpatient services, his main focus is on complex neurodiversity. He has specialist expertise in supporting:
Dr Rostamipour is committed to supporting individuals on their journey toward self-understanding and a more fulfilling life.
