Biography
Dr Tim Nicholson is a Reader in Neuropsychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN), King’s College London where he leads the Neuropsychiatry Research and Education Group (NREG). He is an Honorary Consultant Neuropsychiatrist at the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. His clinical and research work focuses on Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), immunopsychiatry and broader neuropsychiatric disorders - including those resulting from COVID-19.
He set up a pioneering specialist multidisciplinary clinic for FND in 2012 and has over 20 years of experience working clinically with FND and it was the topic of his PhD and the majority of his subsequent research activity including leading on studies into mechanisms, outcome measures and novel treatments such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and more recently psychedelics and Virtual Reality. He has also led and been involved in research investigating autoimmune causes of psychiatric symptoms, such as OCD and psychosis, and been involved in work seeking to understand the extent and causes of both acute and chronic neurological and psychiatric complications of COVID-19. He currently works in a multidisciplinary team clinic for Long COVID at King’s College Hospital providing neuropsychiatric input.
He has published over 130 peer reviewed papers, co-edited a book on FND movement disorders and has written 8 book chapters on FND. He also wrote and developed the Pocket Prescriber series of pharmacology textbooks which have sold over half a million copies - the 2nd edition of Pocket Prescriber Psychiatry, written in collaboration with the British Association of Psychopharmacology, will be published in 2024.
He is on the executive committee of the Neuropsychiatry faculty of the Royal College of Psychiatrist and the British Neuropsychiatry Association. He is secretary of the Fellowship of Postgraduate Medicine and chairs the MSc in Clinical Neuropsychiatry at the IoPPN. He is co-chair of the patient liaison committee of the FND Society, on the committee of the UK FND network and on the medical advisory board of FND Hope, FND Action and Long COVID Support.
