Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist
GMC Number: 4427296
Dr. Val Yeung is a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, who has been a NHS doctor since 1997. She has a broad clinical background from initially qualifying in General Practice, undergoing additional training in Paediatrics, before specialising in Psychiatry, and then becoming a Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist. She has expertise in the assessment and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders including ADHD, and co-occuring mental health difficulties.
As a Consultant Psychiatrist, Dr Yeung has worked in a variety of clinics and lead roles in different organisations, in the UK as well as in New Zealand. These have included as a Specialist Advisor for the Care Quality Commission, Clinical Director for Countywide Child and Adolescent Mental Health services, and Associate Medical Director for Community Mental Health services across the age span in an award winning NHS Trust, rated outstanding by the CQC. Her NHS practice is in a specialist ADHD clinic in a children and young people’s service in the North of England.
Dr Yeung is passionate about providing high quality, evidence based practice which respectfully and holistically considers behavioural, psychological, educational and family interventions, as well as physical healthcare, alongside psychiatric medication as appropriate. She tailors this care to each child, young person or adult she jointly works with to help them achieve their potential, and enable better health, performance and functioning.
My teenage daughter was seen at The ADHD centre by Dr Yeung and diagnosed with ADHD August 2021. I whole heartedly recommend Dr Yeung who we continue to see. My daughters diagnosis and the treatment protocols put in place have changed all our lives significantly. Her mental health, understanding of herself and academic achievements have been truly remarkable since diagnosis and most significantly family harmony has been largely achieved. Our consultations have all been on-line and I was a little sceptical of this at first particularly for the initial consultation which was quite long. However this was not a barrier and in some ways I feel my daughter was more comfortable with this.
I have found Dr Yeung to be very personable and thorough in all of our consultations from case taking to listening to our concerns and offering resolutions which have worked. Without hesitation I recommend Dr Yeung and the ADHD Centre I only wish I had discovered them earlier.

Cannot recommend Dr Val Yeung any more and all the staff I have leased with at the ADHD centre.
Very professional and helpful, quick response times and a friendly service.
Dr Val Yeung seems to genuinely care, and my child felt at ease when talking with her- which is rare.
The diagnosis and treatment my child received from this service was worth every penny!
Would highly recommend.

Dr Yeung has been very thorough with my son’s care, providing guidance, information and support. We couldn’t have gotten through some of the challenges we faced without her input!

We used the ADHD Centre for the diagnosis and treatment of our son. The service was quick and communication very good. Dr Yeung who treated our son was very caring and professional and had an excellent manner with our son.
