Dr Chinwe Utomi is a GMC specialist-registered Consultant Psychiatrist with a Certificate of Completion of Training in General Adult Psychiatry. She currently holds a consultant post in the Perinatal Mental Health Service at Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and has broad clinical experience across general adult, perinatal, crisis, community, liaison, addiction and eating-disorder psychiatry.

Dr Utomi has a particular clinical interest in adult neurodevelopmental assessment, with extensive experience in structured ADHD and autism diagnostic assessment using DSM-5 criteria, medication initiation and titration, and shared care arrangements. She is trained in the ADOS-2 and ADI-R and has significant experience delivering psychiatric assessments via secure video consultation platforms.

This breadth of experience allows her to consider ADHD and autism within the wider context of each individual’s mental health, relationships, employment and everyday functioning. She recognises that neurodevelopmental conditions can present differently from person to person and may overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma and other mental health difficulties.

Dr Utomi understands that seeking an assessment can feel daunting, particularly for people who have spent years feeling misunderstood. Her approach is warm, respectful and collaborative. She is committed to providing thorough, evidence-based assessments with clear, practical recommendations that support informed decisions about future care.
