Dr. Mike McPhillips, 59, helped singer The Saturday’s Frankie Bridge deal with depression and was a counselor at Nightingale Hospital, a private mental health clinic.
Dr Mike McPhillips has died after being found injured next to a κοντά 3m bridge near his home.
A famous psychiatrist who helped singer Frankie Bridge fight depression has died in a suspected suicide.
Dr Mike McPhillips, 59, who treated the star of Strictly Come Dancing after an injury, died after being found injured next to a bridge near his home, worth 3 million pounds.
The father of the two had treated a number of well-known patients and even contributed to a book by Saturday star Frankie.
But at least three women who were sick of him had died in high-profile tragedies – including the daughter of Tory’s late peer, Cecil Parkinson.
The doctor and his wife ran McPhillips Consultancy from an address in the luxurious Sloane Square in London.

A source said: “He seemed to have everything. “His family is devastated.”
Dr McPhillips died three days after being found in West London.
Police said: “In the early morning hours of March 14, we received a call from a man near Barnes Bridge, who suggested he intended to harm himself.
“The police attended and found a man with serious injuries. “He was taken to hospital where, unfortunately, he died.”
Dr. McPhillips charged up to £ 600 an hour for counseling and was a counselor at Nightingale Hospital, a private mental health clinic.
Two years ago, Frankie, 33 – married to former Chelsea and Manchester City star Wayne Bridge – said how the doctor saved her after she hit rock bottom in 2011.
The singer talked about her collapse in her book for 2020, Open: Why Asking For Help Can Save Your Life.
