Clinical Director – Naya Health
Location: Marylebone, London / Hybrid | Contract: 6-month with potential to go permanent
About Naya Health
“Na·ya” meaning “renewal”, “new chapter”.
Naya Health exists to transform how we approach the human experience of suffering.
Millions in the UK alone endure chronic pain, depression, anxiety, fatigue, trauma and addiction. Too often, they’re met with dismissals, long waits, and escalating prescriptions. Too often, our healthcare system numbs symptoms rather than restores lives.
We are seeking an outstanding individual who is passionate about moving from symptom suppression to whole-person recovery.
Our Vision: A Full-Spectrum Neuro-Recovery Clinic
At Naya Health, we are building far more than a treatment centre—we are creating a new category of care: full-spectrum neural restoration.
Our mission is to address the complex and overlapping roots of chronic pain, depression, fatigue, trauma and addiction through an integrative, personalised approach that goes beyond conventional medicine.
Our vision includes:
1. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
- Our foundational treatment: drug-free, non-invasive, backed by 20 years of research, and an excellent safety record
- Proprietary protocols with 93% success rates and 40%+ remission at two years
- Adapted for chronic pain, depression, anxiety, PTSD, Long COVID, OCD and addiction cessation
- FDA and NICE approved for many conditions, and backed by the NHS
2. Therapeutic Interventions
- Talking Therapies: Evidence-based CBT, ACT and trauma-informed psychotherapy, tailored to patient needs
- VR-Assisted Therapy: Immersive experiences to accelerate emotional processing and neuroplasticity
- Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (Future-Ready): As regulation permits, we aim to integrate licensed psychedelic protocols (e.g. ketamine, psilocybin) into our care pathways, paired with expert therapeutic support
3. Lifestyle & Functional Support
- Coaching & Guidance: One-to-one support in the lifestyle areas that most impact neural health: sleep, nutrition, movement and relationships
- Data-Led Interventions: Wearables, biometric tracking, and AI-driven insights to inform and personalise every aspect of the patient journey
- Neuropositive Environments: Clinics designed to soothe, restore and activate healing—deliberately different from sterile, traditional settings
Our long-term goal is to offer patients a single, integrated path from dysfunction to vitality—combining the best of medical science, psychological healing, and personal transformation.
Our first step is to provide best-in-class rTMS treamtment
Magnetic Stimulation Therapy is a safe, drug-free, non-invasive treatment that reprogrammes dysfunctional neural circuits—addressing the root cause, not just the expression.
Our practitioners and their proprietary protocols have helped:
- 93% of patients achieve symptom improvement
- Over 40% reach full remission—even after two years
- Many return to work, relationships, and full lives
We are building a restorative, intelligent care experience for those with chronic pain, depression, anxiety, Long COVID, trauma, fatigue and addiction—supported by AI, data, and deep clinical credibility.
We are now seeking a Clinical Director to help lead this next chapter.
