Clinical support in Aberdeen

“I recently visited Temple for a deep tissue massage. My job is very sedentary but I play a lot of golf! Combination of the two leaves me very stiff, especially in the lower back. The massage was great, first time i has ever experienced a massage "gun" and it very effective! You can feel the difference almost immediately, cant recommend it highly enough.”

“I had the best experience delivering my baby at Aberdeen Maternity hospital. The midwife was empathetic and patient with me throughout. She went to great lengths to ease my anxiety, went with my wishes and I felt safe under her care. I spent a few nights in hospital after giving birth and all of the midwives that looked after me were extremely kind and went to great lengths to make sure my baby and I were comfortable. After having some traumatic experiences through the NHS at a different hospital throughout my pregnancy. This midwife and care team at Aberdeen Maternity put my faith back into the NHS.”

“I highly recommend everyone to get a massage at MSK. Jayne takes time to understand your issue that is causing pain and does her magic - using a multitude of techniques I always feel great after. I try go every month for maintenance massage. I workout and sit at a desk job so not just for athletes. Great premises and easy for parking.”

“Staff on reception are super sweet and welcoming. The gym is kept to a great hygiene standard and everything is easy to navigate. I would recommend this gym over others, no waiting about for machines, great pool and sauna.”

“Great staff. Will go out of their way to help. Always there when you need them. Looked after my daughter so well. Made her at peace no matter what tests etc were being carried out. If you ever need to attend the children's hospital I can't recommend enough. The only negative is the rooms don't have Aircon and so when we were there the temp would be well into the high 20C's. Usually higher than 25C. Need cooling of some sort to be sorted in the hospital.”

“My visit on 1/12/25 to the rather ominously titled Ward 101 was a revelation in health care. In the three hours I was there, I received a thorough investigation of all relevant features of my condition, delivered with friendliness, efficiency and skill. Communication was highly expert - they listened carefully to me, and explained their own views with clarity and completeness. Everyone, from cleaner to consultant, showed a commitment to the highest of health care values. Congratulations and many thanks to all.”

“I started seeing Anne earlier this year while I was preparing for a marathon; I’ve suffered from a tight, painful upper back for years and knew I’d need some help to get me through my training. I’ve seen numerous specialists over the years, but none as good as Anne. She completely understands my back issues and the treatment she provides has got me to a stage where I can live a relatively pain free life. The ultimate testament is that my upper back didn’t bother me once during my marathon a couple of weeks back. Can’t thank her enough for her help, and will absolutely be keeping up with my appointments.”

“5* over the moon with First Psychology, if you are unsure or still thinking on it, call them, it’ll be the best thing you ever do. I can’t recommend FP and Victor Morton highly enough. I don’t do many reviews, only when something is of a high standard. FP and Victor are brilliant, they are providing me with such a high standard of care that I felt that need to write a review I hope this review gives a person needing help that confidence to call. I was previously seeing another therapist in Aberdeen however we were unhappy. My NHS psychiatrist said some of his other patients had recommended first psychology. So my family and I phoned, reception were extremely helpful, patient and friendly. Each professional had a informative bio which helped us make our decision on choosing a therapist and the receptionist explained the process brilliantly. All the team at FP are helpful, cheery and friendly each time we call. I chose Victor Morton as my therapist, I was very nervous and my anxiety was high ahead of the first session with him. I felt alittle more relaxed because it was done via FaceTime rather than on the laptop. I was immediately put at ease early in the session as Victor is so friendly, calm and reassuring. Sounds odd but I think what also helped was he wasn’t wearing a shirt or tie, just casual wear. He is very professional but also relaxed that I feel comfortable enough to talk about difficult and upsetting things. Victor explained that he wants me to be honest with him, something I struggled to voice with the previous therapist. He explained his expertise, knowledge and his ethos in a clear way that i understood. In the first 15mins of the session I the difference between Victor and previous therapists (including NHS) was like day and night. In the 20 years I have had complex mental health he is the first professional to ask me to write a timeline of events/life. I sent the timeline over to Victor, it was quite clear that he had studied and memorizing it. This in itself meant so much to me, it feels like he genuinely cares and shows a great level of interest. Each session feels structured which I like but it still relaxed, Victor manages the session time well, I feel we cover a great deal within the time but does just the right amount, it is never overwhelming for me. I struggle to retain information and learning is problematic for me but he explains things in a helpful way. Therapists have tried to teach me breathing techniques but I fail to remember but they breathing technique Victor taught me in session 1, I got immediately! The visual link he showed helped me too. I have absolutely confidence in Victor as a professional, I now feel Alittle hope that maybe I can get to recovery. I actually look forward to each appointment, I feel excited thinking ‘what will I learn today’ mindset and I leave each appointment on a good note, feeling positive, Victor sets me some homework each week, encouraging me to play a active and hands on role towards my recovery. I could go on and on with praise and do Plummets for Victor and FP. They have been absolutely amazing, I can’t believe the difference in only 3 sessions. I have complex issues for the past 20 years with CPTSD and more, I have 8 professionals helping me just now, I have been in/out of hospital, cbt courses, CMHT, psychiatrist and multiple services involved. I was seeing a private therapist in Aberdeen but we were unhappy. When my family and I phoned FP, I was so incredibly desperate, in crisis/shutdown mode and having suicidal moments. In just 3 sessions FP and Victor have helped beyond measure, I now see a tiny glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe I could get to longterm recovery. I have written this lengthy review but there is so much more, not sure I have summarized it well but I’ve tried. Excellent company and very high standard of care. If have read this please know there is hope and I encourage you to call FP to find a professional that can help you.”
