The Child and Family Practice Bloomsbury

What The Child and Family Practice Bloomsbury does

The Child and Family Practice Bloomsbury is a London-based private mental-health practice founded in 1994 (originally as the London Child and Family Practice) by Dr Arnon Bentovim and Marianne Bentovim, both formerly of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital and the Tavistock Clinic. It operates from a five-storey period property at 60 Bloomsbury Street, WC1B 3QU, with appointment hours from 8am-8pm weekdays and 9.30am-5.30pm Saturdays. The firm delivers clinical services through a small core staff (8 employees) supported by a network of 50+ consultant clinicians across psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy, family therapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, educational consultancy, and nutrition. Its technology stack is limited to standard clinical assessment tools and therapeutic methodologies — there is no proprietary platform, and no AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.

The practice generates revenue from two streams: fee-paying clinical consultation and therapy services (psychotherapy, psychiatry, multidisciplinary assessments, family therapy) where fees are quoted per case during initial triage, and consulting room rental to independent practitioners on either regular weekly 6-hour blocks (priced £421.83-£599.50 PCM with a 25% volume discount for 3+ sessions per week) or ad hoc hourly terms (retainer of £145 PCM plus £27.25-£38.15/hour). Its customer base is predominantly B2C, segmented across children/adolescents, adults, and couples/families, with a smaller non-primary institutional segment around schools and educational settings. It also runs paid Zoom-based group programmes such as the Intercultural Couples Group at £20 per 2-hour session and weekend retreats. Marketing is driven by an enquiry-led sales motion, content marketing via the website and blog, organic social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter), referral networks with GPs and educational institutions, and community-led group offerings.

The practice's go-to-market is sales-led, with a triage clinician responding to online enquiry forms within 48 hours to 5-7 working days, conducting an initial telephone consultation, and matching clients to consultants. It also operates a community-led motion through specialised therapy groups and workshops (Intercultural Couples Group, Asian Therapy Group, intercultural couples retreats, and four-day Intercultural Exeter Model training courses) that both generate direct fee revenue and reinforce the practice's expertise positioning in intercultural, multidisciplinary, and eating-disorder work. Referrals flow from GPs, NHS services, schools, universities, and self-referrals. The business is privately held with no disclosed external investment, parent company, or subsidiaries.

Broad incumbents

• Priory Group: UK's largest independent provider of mental health services with inpatient and outpatient facilities. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering private psychiatry, psychology, and therapy across the same conditions (eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma), but at much greater scale and with inpatient capability.
• Nightingale Hospital: Central London private mental health hospital offering outpatient psychiatry, psychology, and therapy. Comparable as a premium private-pay provider serving similar demographics in the same London catchment, though with a broader inpatient/outpatient portfolio.
• Great Ormond Street Hospital (Mental Health Services): Major NHS paediatric hospital where TCFP's founders trained and worked before founding the practice. Comparable in paediatric subspecialty depth and child psychiatry expertise, though operating as a large NHS institution rather than a private clinic.
• Cygnet Health Care: Large UK independent mental health provider offering specialist services including eating disorders, CAMHS, and learning disability support. Comparable across multiple clinical specialisms TCFP offers, but at significantly larger scale and with residential/inpatient settings.

Others

• Centre for Psychology and Mental Health (City, University of London): Academic centre producing research and trained clinicians in family therapy, child psychology, and mental health — comparable as a training and research ecosystem that overlaps with TCFP's clinical and training interests.
• British Psychoanalytical Society: Professional body for psychoanalysis in the UK, of which TCFP director Dr Roger Kennedy was President (2004-6). Comparable as an adjacent professional/training ecosystem that shapes the practice's clinical methodology and talent pipeline.
• Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS): NHS-commissioned community-based mental health services for children and adolescents. Functions as both a referral source for TCFP and a free alternative that competes for the same patient population on price.
• National Autistic Society: UK charity for people with autism and their families, providing diagnostic guidance, post-diagnosis support, and school liaison. Comparable as an adjacent service provider serving TCFP's core autism assessment patient population, particularly in the post-diagnosis support pathway TCFP also offers.

Direct peers

• Anna Freud Centre: London-based charity specialising in child and adolescent mental health, family therapy, and multidisciplinary assessments. Directly comparable in clinical focus, family therapy expertise, and training/teaching model — and explicitly referenced as a workplace of TCFP team member Dr Shadi Shahnavaz.
• Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust: NHS specialist mental health trust with renowned family therapy and child/adolescent services. The Tavistock Family Therapy and Systemic Research Centre is co-directed by TCFP's Dr Reenee Singh, evidencing deep clinical and intellectual overlap in systemic family therapy.
