Dr Tim Rogers is a Consultant Psychiatrist at Harbor. He has particular experience working with elite athletes across many sports, including Olympic and Paralympic competitors.

Alongside his psychiatric training, Dr Rogers has studied sport and exercise psychology at postgraduate level, which gives him a grounding in the psychological demands of high-performance sport.

Professional Background & Qualifications

Dr Rogers has two Master’s degrees: one in Forensic Mental Health Science from King’s College London, and one in Applied Sport and Exercise Psychology from Staffordshire University.

He also completed the MRCPsych Psychiatry Residency Programme at the Royal Free Hospital in 2003.

He is a Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and belongs to its Sport and Exercise Special Interest Group. He is registered with the General Medical Council.

Healthcare Leadership & Experience

Dr Rogers regularly teaches and gives talks on mental health in sport. He has been involved with the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ Sport and Exercise Special Interest Group since it was set up, and has contributed to its work on where medicine and sport psychology meet.

He has also worked as an expert witness, including on cases both in and outside professional sport.

He was previously on UK Anti-Doping’s register of accredited psychiatrists.

Approach to Care

Because he works across psychiatry and sport psychology, Dr Rogers looks at a person’s mental health alongside the pressures of the environment they perform in. That approach applies beyond sport, too, to anyone whose work involves sustained pressure to perform.

His experience working with elite athletes across different sports informs his understanding of the demands that can accompany competition, performance and professional sporting careers.
