Professional statement
Dr Luis Alameda is a dual-trained consultant psychiatrist and psychotherapist offering private consultations in Central London at the prestigious 10 Harley Street. He provides specialised interventions combining approaches from both psychiatry and psychotherapy. His areas of expertise lie in treating schizophrenia and other psychoses, bipolar disorder, depression, as well as anxiety and a range of personality disorders.
Dr Alameda's approach is centred around trust, empathy and building a strong connection with his patients. Instead of relying on diagnostic labels, he believes it to be more helpful to focus on the actual symptoms and difficulties his patients are experiencing. He recognises there is no barrier between normal and pathology, but rather there is a continuum between the two.
Dr Alameda is a psychodynamic psychotherapist trained in Switzerland, which allows him to combine his skills as a medical doctor with those of a psychotherapist.
Dr Alameda completed his medical studies at the University of Seville, Spain; Lund University, Sweden; and the University of Florence, Italy. He subsequently completed his psychiatry and psychodynamic psychotherapy training in 2016 at Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), Switzerland. He has ten years of experience as a Consultant Psychiatrist in public mental health services in both Switzerland and the UK. Dr Alameda has been practising in the UK as a Consultant Psychiatrist since 2018.
Aside from his consultancy positions, he is also a Senior Clinical Lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King's College London and an associate member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Dr Alameda has published around 125 scientific publications in the field of mental health, as well as four book chapters. His research investigates the links between childhood trauma and the development of mental health problems.
Dr Alameda offers consultations in English, Spanish, and French.

- Dr Alameda is a wonderful psychiatrist. He is deeply knowledgeable, empathetic, and truly dedicated to improving his patients' health and wellbeing.
- Dt Alameda is truly one of a kind. He’s so caring and compassionate and made such a monumental difference for our family. He is incredibly understanding and thoughtful and we are so overjoyed he came into our life. The Harley street location is calm and peaceful and the support we have received at a difficult time has been exceptional. Very highly recommend and thank you so much Dr Alameda.
- Dr Alameda is the first psychiatrist that has actually listened to my concerns and made me feel heard. He makes me feel very comfortable sharing things and this is the first journey with medications thats been even slightly successful
- I would recommend Dr Alameda to anyone. We were with the NHS for 7 years and I was in a really bad way. Within 7 months with Dr Alameda my life has completely changed, it’s unrecognisable and i’m so much better and so much more able. I will be forever grateful to him for all the help he has given me and the time he has taken in getting me to this point. He asks questions I have not been asked by a Psychiatrist before and I feel like he really cares about my well being and my future.
- Very efficient and detailed analysis from Dr Luis.
- Very empathetic, friendly and understanding.
- Dr Alameda has a lovely way of putting you at ease. He approaches all discussions expertly and with genuine empathy and understanding.
- Dr Alameda was very empathetic and understood clearly what my needs were. He was both highly professional and friendly and approachable - listening closely to what I had to say and responding with clarity and sympathy.
- Dr. Alameda has been extremely understanding and thorough in both of my sessions. He listens carefully, explains everything clearly, and I feel genuinely supported and on the right track for the first time in a long while. Highly recommend.
