“Anna was my first ever therapist and she has been nothing short of amazing! She's kind, patient and listens to you with zero judgement whatsoever making it so much easier to open up! She helped bring me out of a dark place and I am truly thankful for all of the advice and tips I gained during our sessions. If you're looking for a non-judgemental, caring and knowledgeable therapist Anna is the one for you! Thank you so much once again for everything, you're amazing at what you do and a truly special soul.”

“Myself and my partner have been going to Susi's yoga class for a couple of months. We are complete beginners. The class is very relaxed and, informal, and Susi is great at giving instruction so you can follow her. She has a lovely calming presence and makes everyone feel welcome. I'm really impressed with her knowledge and skill of yoga. It has helped me sleep better too.”

“I have been seeing Stu now for a while after recommendation by my girlfriend. He’s very easy to talk to and makes you feel really welcome. He picks up on areas where you don’t even know you need to talk about and has helped me develop coping strategies where I haven’t been able to before. I highly recommended anyone considering therapy to book in with Stu”

“I am very happy with the implant carried out by Georgios, ably assisted by Jade. I would also like to thank the rest of the team members for the excellent service provided.”

“Mavis in radiology and her colleague, whose name I don’t know, were wonderful with my daughter when she came for her MRI yesterday. They helped her to stay calm and reassured her that there was nothing to worry about. Really great care.”

“I had a great experience with Dr. Ussama Butt and the team. They did an excellent job cleaning my teeth, and everything was explained clearly throughout the process. During my next visit, he took a 3D scan to create custom trays for teeth whitening. I picked up the trays and whitening solution at the following appointment, and everything fit perfectly. The whole process was smooth, and I’m really happy with the way things were done. Highly recommend!”

“I've been impressed by the level of consideration, compassion, thought and care shown by the team at Tiptoes. The clinical supervision is of a class and quality that I'd not previously experienced and I valued it greatly. The office is mostly on one level so is very accessible though I think the toilet may present a challenge for wheelchair users to access unaided. It's a comfortable and welcoming environment that's open and friendly. They have an impressive array of therapeutic services available to children, families, staff and organisations. I've found my contact with this service transformational.”

“I’ve had Counciling with Vicky for over a year now and it’s been the best life decision I’ve ever made! Vicky is so easy to connect with and this was really important to me to be able to relax. If I could imagine I would be able to get over my fear of driving a year ago I wouldn’t have believed it! But Vicky has helped me gain the confidence to be able to try new things and not to let anything stop me. She has been a huge part of my life the past year and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her! She is such a caring person but she also pushes and supports me when I doubt myself. Thank you Vicky for everything x”

“Working with Matthew has been so fulfilling. There has been massive changes happen from the place I was in 4 years ago, to the place I’m in now. Most of which, I wouldn’t have been able to do without matthew. It’s likely that I wouldn’t even be alive so I’m eternally grateful for the support and guidance through such difficult times of my life. There were times where I wasn’t sure I’d survive through the trauma, but I did - thanks to matthew! I couldn’t face the future before, today I see the future. I feel a different sense of calmness to myself. Alongside working with matthew, I did hypnotherapy. Both worked so well together and have got me to the point where my trauma symptoms are pretty much nil. Just over 6 months ago, I moved 6 hours away and decided to begin getting my diploma in counselling. I’d have never been able to do this nor would I have ever considered it if I hadn’t been working with matthew for the past 4 years. We’d made so much progress and adding hypnotherapy to the healing, helped me in the healing journey so much quicker. I highly recommend matthew as a therapist. He has been such a wonderful person and therapist after several therapists and professionals having let me down, he restored the faith in me that a therapist could help me. So he did. There were so many layers I didn’t even know I needed to delve into until I did and having being able to work through all of those helped me believe I could work through everything else, although sometimes it took me a while to process and I had doubts, I never doubted that matthew and his work. Thank you matthew, from the bottom of my heart. I’m forever grateful and appreciate you more than words could ever explain!”

“Would highly recommend Bernie for anyone who is struggling. Warm friendly and definitely knows her stuff!”

“I recommend Clare to everyone I know. Clare has helped me work through 23 years of trauma and realise that I have a positive future and with visual explanations/diagrams I have a much clearer process to work through any triggers that may crop up.”

“Jen is an amazing therapist. I’ve been seeing her for about two and a half years, and she’s helped me through some really tough times. She’s always there to support you with whatever you need, and if it’s in her hands, she’ll do it without hesitation. Today we started walking therapy, and it was honestly such a great experience. Thank you so much, Jen.”

“Incredibly beneficial. I would recommend Gary and his CBT skills to anyone!”

“I can't recommend Shaun enough, in just a handful of sessions the work that he has done has quite literally changed my life for the better. He's very knowledgeable, warm and I have l never felt judged or rushed.”

“Thekla is absolutely fantastic. She is extremely knowledgeable, but also very friendly, kind and understanding, which makes her great to work with. She made a huge difference to the way I approach situations in everyday life, and helped me break out of unhelpful cognitive habits I’ve experienced for years. I would strongly recommend her to anyone.”

“I can’t stress just how helpful Dr. Ankur Kumar has been. I was keen to ensure I saw a consultant who I had a strong sense of confidence in, so I would have complete faith in the accuracy of diagnosis and advice regarding treatment. Dr. Kumar absolutely fit the books as a specialised consultant who had previously been part of the team handling ADHDers at the renowned SLaM mental health hospital, and I was drawn to his profile on the ADHD centre website as a young, experienced doctor with a good vibe that I could hopefully identify and communicate with as much as possible. From diagnosing my ADHD in a robust and detailed assessment to supporting me with titration of medicine, I always felt that the key to Dr. Kumar’s treatment was enabling me to make informed choices and take control of my treatment so it worked for me. This isn’t to say that his strong expertise wasn’t there to steer me - rather that he supported my acting as an active participant in each step of my treatment pathway with the independence to make guided choices. This was hugely important for me and this process has been one of assuming a greater degree of control over my life and health. Dr. Kumar was honest, empathetic and non-judgmental. I felt I could be open and say more or less anything to him, which is something I usually find challenging with doctors. He had great insight into my experience and feelings, and was able to articulate where I felt unable to express myself fully. I couldn’t have asked for a better physician for this, and I felt confident I was in the best possible hands. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Kumar to anybody seeking diagnosis or treatment for ADHD. He is clearly very experienced at engaging and communicating with neurodivergent individuals. I felt valued and respected as an equal partner in dialogue and planning regards treatment choices, which is a remarkable achievement for a condition where so often one can feel isolated, misunderstood and an outsider to society’s common perspectives and experiences. To this extent I felt Dr. Kumar gave me confidence and calm, reassurance and encouragement. Dr. Kumar built me up when my expectation going in to a space of clinical intervention and psychiatric evaluation was one of feeling diminished, vulnerable and a person who might come across mentally unwell. I’d expected to be placed under the looking glass of a serious doctor in a serious white coat, to dictate to me how I should deal with my serious problems. This wasn’t my experience at all. On top of having confidence in his advice, clear experience and knowledge, his relaxed and approachable manner was refreshing. Being able to talk freely about my experience of ADHD and make decisions with help of a compassionate, empathetic expert helped with feelings of being out of touch with others due to this condition, and of lacking capacity to take meaningful control of my life. Dr. Kumar has a genuine and clear interest in the wellbeing of his patients - whether that’s in relation to treatment impacting on work performance, daily life or otherwise. He is a kind and emotionally astute individual. He’s also very funny at times. While I am here I should give a special mention to the admin team - particularly Dr. Kumar’s fantastic receptionist Leanne Ford - prompt to respond, highly conscientious, and helpful with queries and requests. Do see Dr. Ankur Kumar if you think you have ADHD, you won’t find the experience difficult in the slightest. My only regret is not doing so earlier! I look forward to continued follow ups into the future and continued progress under his supervision and guidance.”

“Saved my life and I know many others that have been Saved by this place and it's easy to find if you open your eyes”

“It is not usual for me to write reviews but in this instance I must - Dr Gupta is by far the most engaging and caring psychiatrist I've ever seen and has gone above and beyond in regards to my care. I couldn't recommend him more. The receptionists are also extremely friendly and professional. My life is finally getting back on track and it's thanks to the well being centre.”

“Dr Edi-Osagie and his whole team are just excellent! Julie the secretary is wonderful. I can’t thank them enough for the excellent service they’ve provided and the standard of care I have received. Highly recommended and fully deserving of 5 star reviews.”
