I had the best experience with My Doctor. She has been kind and professional in every aspect. She was able to understand my current situation very well and I found this appointment very useful. I was able to arrange an appointment so quickly. I would definitely recommend Psymplicity. Thank you so much once again. Really appreciate all the help and time .

12/06/2024
As always, I am really pleased and impressed with my Doctors empathetic, understanding, sympathetic attitude and clinical expertise.
05/06/2024
I felt listened to and found my consultation / ADHD adult assessment really beneficial for my mental and physical health. I am going to put some of my Dr’s advice into practice.
05/06/2024
The Dr would like me to send her a written account of my experiences living with ADHD. I am pleased I have had the assessment and consultation as it has helped me to understand my neurodivergent brain and to lose some of the awful shame I felt about never being good / competent/ intelligent enough.
05/06/2024
I was very impressed with how I was professionally and non judgementally assessed. I felt valued and listened too.
20/06/2024

28/05/2024

17/05/2024
Recently I decided as recommended by a friend to have a ADHD assessment. Much to my amazement I was diagnosed with ADHD. My whole life suddenly felt very normal for the first time in what felt like forever.
17/05/2024
I cannot thank Psymplicity enough. I was coming to the end of my tether. Psymplicity has helped me more than i thought possible. The knowledge alone has been a life changing experience for me. Hopefully can further my career without my ADHD holding me back.
19/05/2024
Very efficient and easy to book, super quick to get an appointment
17/05/2024
The psychiatrist I spoke to made me feel seen and heard for the first time in my life. I always felt like an oddball when explaining my symptoms to a g.p. Yet, today I was made to feel understood. I cannot thank him enough for his help today. To realise it wasn’t all because I was a bad kid, it was because I have autism and a.d.h.d. Has made me feel compassion towards myself instead of shame.
15/05/2024
The process was so straightforward and simple. I wish I had done this sooner. All the years of anxiety and feeling different, changing myself to fit with people. I could cry with relief. I've suspected for years but still doubted that an assessment/diagnosis would clarify things, more just say I needed to concentrate or pay attention. However, it explains everything and I feel freed and validated for the first time in my whole life.
15/05/2024
Very professional admin team that answered my numerous questions over the phone with understanding and patience. Would recommend to any individuals seeking psychiatric help.
14/05/2024
It was a review appointment with my Doctor following 6 months shared care. As always the appointment is informative and helpful. My Doctor has helped make a huge difference to my life. So glad I’ve had his continuous care over the last 18 months. It’s been worth the initial teething problems with Admin at the practice. Which also seems to have improved.
09/05/2024
From start to finish everyone has been so lovely and kind. Couldn’t ask for a better service
