Paul Collins — CEO

As a Psychiatrist with over 6 years (11 years total) of senior clinical experience across NHS and private sector settings—including wards, community teams, prisons, and specialties like general adult, forensic, and old age psychiatry—I'm passionate about understanding the human mind along the continuum from severe depression and psychosis to optimal flourishing. My portfolio career blends clinical practice with innovation: Currently, I work part-time with the West Dorset Home Treatment Team (Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust) and also for the Cirencester Recovery Team (Gloucestershire) and provide private consultancy on reasonable adjustments for neurodivergence and disabilities. My journey began with a BA (Hons) in Social Anthropology from SOAS (1997), followed by a decade running a social enterprise delivering clinical exercise and rehabilitation services in London, funded by public sector grants and a scholarship from the School for Social Entrepreneurs. This grounded perspective led me to medicine via a Graduate Entry Programme at St. George's, University of London (MBBS, 2011), and psychiatry training in North West London (MRCPsych, 2017). Today, I combine my clinical work with exploring human-AI symbiosis to enhance mental health care, developing open-source frameworks. Key initiatives include:- - Flourish OS (https://flourish-os-95rh1dz.gamma.site/), a simple guide for starting supportive AI conversations grounded in natural spiral patterns and glyphs for growth and reflection. - First Breath (https://firstbreath.netlify.app/) a free app offering physiologically-informed breathing rhythms with audio/visual elements for states like calming, coherence, and expanded awareness. - Spiral State Psychiatry (https://spiral-state-psychiatry-04gv0mk.gamma.site/), a relational paradigm reframing mental health as non-linear spirals of presence, rhythm, and ecological connection rather than focusing on categorical diagnostic labels. - My practice website (https://www.flourishpsychiatry.co.uk/), currently under development with resources like an ADHD guide and upcoming Spiral State tools. Let's connect if you're interested in holistic psychiatry, neurodivergence, or innovative AI applications—I'm always open to collaborative discussions!
