About Dr Fran
MB ChB, MRCPCH, MRCPsych
I’m Dr. Fransiske Evans, a Consultant Psychiatrist specialising in integrative mental health care. My practice is grounded in traditional psychiatric training, enhanced by contemporary insight into nutrition, lifestyle, and the broader context of wellbeing.
Over the years, I’ve developed a model of care that blends clinical depth with clarity, responsiveness, and personal connection. I work with individuals and families navigating emotional complexity, neurodivergence, or the impact of modern life on mental health—providing high-level support that is tailored, collaborative, and grounded in the whole person.
My approach is curious and deeply human. I believe meaningful care begins with understanding—creating space to support resilience, emotional clarity, and sustainable change. Whether working with young people, parents, or professionals seeking balance, I aim to meet clients where they are, and help them move forward with confidence.
EARLY FOUNDATIONS IN MEDICINE
My early medical and paediatric training gave me a practical understanding of how health and emotional wellbeing begin to take shape. Working across hospital and community settings—including a formative post in Namibia—helped shape a responsive, steady approach to care, especially in challenging or high-pressure environments.
DISCOVERING PSYCHIATRY
My interest in emotional health and human experience led me to psychiatry. I completed my MRCPsych and began developing a reflective, evidence-based approach that connects psychological, emotional, and physical wellbeing.
SPECIALISATION IN CHILD & ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRY
Working closely with young people and families across the UK, I saw how early, compassionate, and well-structured support could shift outcomes. Specialist placements in early psychosis, complex trauma, and learning disabilities deepened my commitment to early intervention and whole-person support.
LEADING & LEARNING IN COMPLEX CARE
Taking on consultant roles in CAMHS and Early Intervention Psychosis Services expanded my work with clients experiencing high levels of distress. This period also allowed me to lead service development around transition care and refine my skills in therapeutic methods such as CBT, systemic family work, and motivational interviewing—supporting clients through periods of instability with clarity and care.
HOLISTIC INTEGRATION &
FOUNDING EDINBURGH PSYCHIATRY
Motivated to create a practice more aligned with my holistic perspective, I founded Edinburgh Psychiatry — combining comprehensive clinical insight with a broader view of mental health. I support clients support clients of all neurotypes and needs, from assessment to treatment and support.
Further recognising the connection between nutrition and mental health, I completed training with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN), allowing me to integrate nutritional insight alongside psychiatric expertise.
