Skylight Psychiatry Bewertungen 

Straightforward booking system and excellent service. Couldn’t ask for more!

I elected to go with SkyLight Psychiatry via NHS Right To Choose as i have been struggling for over 40 years, despite having independently accessed Psychotherapy at various points in my life but with little to no improvement or answers. I feel the timeframe between filiing in and submitting the forms (which i really struggled with due to the different components) as well as recieving my assessment date was surprisingly very fast, when compared to the timeframe you are generally advised at the start! My assessment with Ruth Purse was indeed a revelation! I felt that I had truly been listened to for the first time, especially being a black women from the diaspora. I honestly attended the appointment with great trepidation not knowing what to expect and worrying sick that I may be invalidated and just put into the stereotypical box which could just have so easily been done. However, Ruth was calm, patient, kind, reassuring and even gave me some break; she took the time to probe about my background and culture in order to better understand me and my situation as well as to get a better understanding for herself. I felt this is the best gift I have ever given myself and look forward to continuing on a new journey to better umderstand myself and improve my situation. Thank you

The whole process was great! Everyone that I spoke to was lovely. I would highly recommend!

I was very impressed with how quickly they were able to offer me an assessment and how smooth and efficient the whole process was. My assessment was very professional and carried out by a kind and understanding assessor who made me feel comfortable. I would highly recommend !!

The call took place on time, was very friendly, didn't feel uncomfortable. Everything was explained in a way that was easy to understand, and although not everyone gets a diagnosis straight away, I was lucky enough to get one on the day. They will now work on conjunction with my GP to allow me to gain access to all the help and support I need. Highly recommend.

The lady who completed my assessment was patient and lovely. She was very reassuring and made sure I wasn’t nervous

I was assessed by Debbie. I was feeling anxious and she makes me feel comfortable.
We went through challenging questions and memories. She was constantly ensuring that I was okay to continue and shows compassion.

The experience was so easy from start to finish. Very quick and the staff were brilliant

Outstanding service yes a long wait but finally got answer been needing for many yrs the lady who did assessment was so down to earth askin if was ok or needed a break would highly recommend did more for me than my doctor has thank you

The technology was not great and didn’t work very well during my first appointment. After my first appointment, it ended abruptly because we ran out of time because of the tech issues and I was left waiting over a week for a discussion about what I had shared during an appointment which I found very stressful. The assessor I spoke with was very pleasant.

I would like to provide some feedback from my ADHD Assessment today with Ms Benazir Chaudhury.

I cannot speak highly enough of the clinician who carried out my ADHD assessment. From the very beginning, Benazir made me feel safe, understood and completely at ease. She explained the assessment process clearly and reassured me that it was a supportive conversation rather than an interrogation, which immediately helped to reduce my anxiety.

Throughout the assessment, Benazir was incredibly patient, compassionate and encouraging. She listened carefully to my experiences and helped me to understand how my lifelong difficulties fitted together. I felt genuinely seen as a whole person rather than simply being assessed against a checklist.

What meant the most to me was the way she acknowledged how much I had achieved throughout my life without knowing that I had both autism and ADHD, or having the right support in place. She encouraged me to feel proud of myself and helped me to recognise my resilience rather than focusing only on my struggles. Her words were incredibly validating and emotional for me.

As someone studying psychology and counselling, I was especially impressed by her ability to use counselling skills so naturally and sensitively when working with a neurodivergent person. She clearly understands the importance of building trust, recognising masking, allowing time to process information and creating a space where someone can speak openly without feeling judged.

Benazir was kind, knowledgeable, affirming and exceptionally skilled in working with the neurodivergent community. I finished the assessment feeling understood, hopeful and proud of how far I have come. I am extremely grateful for the care and encouragement she gave me and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone going through an ADHD assessment.

Outstanding service from Skylight and Megan Fishburn is absolutely brilliant

Both my partner and I went through ADHD assessment and titration with Skylight Psychiatry, and we honestly had such a positive experience.

The assessment process went really smoothly. Everyone we dealt with was professional, kind and considerate, and the final reports were extremely detailed and took account of all the additional information we provided. We felt properly listened to and could tell that a lot of care had gone into understanding us as individuals.

We were then both lucky enough to have Megan Fishburn as our prescriber during titration, and she was absolutely amazing from start to finish.

Megan is so kind, patient, understanding and easy to talk to. She never ever made us feel judged or abnormal, and she always explained things in a clear, relatable way that we could actually understand. She listened to what we wanted and hoped to achieve while making sure everything was safe and properly monitored.

Titration can be confusing and stressful because quite a lot can change in a fairly short time, but Megan always had sensible advice and practical solutions. She took our individual difficulties seriously and adjusted things around our specific needs rather than making the process feel generic or one-size-fits-all.

She made us feel heard, understood and genuinely cared about as people rather than like two more patients on a list. It was clear she cares deeply for all of her patients and wants to see them thrive throughout the process.

Megan helped both of us enormously, but her support made a particularly important difference to my partner. He had struggled for years to understand his difficulties, communicate when something was wrong and ask other people for help. He often felt as though people saw him as lazy or making excuses.

Through this process, he has started to understand that his difficulties are not an excuse, but they are an explanation. He can learn to work with them rather than constantly blaming himself or feeling inadequate or broken. That change in his confidence and outlook has honestly meant so much to both of us, and I think the understanding Megan gave him has gone hand in hand with the benefits of medication.

The wider Skylight team were also consistently supportive, responsive and accommodating, particularly when there were difficulties involving work and mental health. Communication was excellent, emails were answered quickly and helpfully, and we never felt ignored, confused or left wondering what was happening.

We went through Skylight using NHS Right to Choose. There was a wait because titration had not yet opened when we were first referred, but the assessments, diagnosis and reports were dealt with promptly, and we were kept updated throughout, and Skylight kept all theur patients updated wirh regards to titration (the delay was outside of their control which we understood and appreciated) but were happy to wait and knew the service would be worth it. Thankfully titration is now in full force and we had no issues scheduling our regular appointments, availability was always excellent and eveything was on time and well organised with alerts and reminders throughout.

We are now moving into shared care, and sad that we will only be seeing Megan once a year, but it is incredibly reassuring to know that we remain under Skylight and can contact them or Megan again whenever we need help. We don’t feel as though we have simply been discharged and left to manage alone, we still feel incredibly supported.

Megan is genuinely brilliant at her job, and Skylight should be extremely proud to have her. We really couldn’t have asked for a better nurse or a better experience of titration.

We are endlessly grateful to Megan and the whole Skylight team for their care, hard work, dedication and professionalism.

I have friends who chose other Right to Choose providers and sadly had very different experiences, so I would strongly recommend researching the quality of the service rather than choosing based only on waiting times.

Skylight has been a reliable, professional and genuinely caring service, and we would recommend them without hesitation. A real positive life-changing experience.

Everyone was friendly and kind. When I forgot to fill out one form, I was given information about where to go and the next steps towards my assessment. I have had a great experience with Skylight and would 10/10 recommend.

Doctor Nisheeth was very kind and understand. I was nervous about a video appointment and he was very helpful. At the end of the session I was given a diagnosis result straight away.
After the appointment I received a test message almost immediately confirming the next steps.

Assessor was nice and understanding. I felt listened to. I was referred to Skylight by my gp and the process was quicker and easier than I thought it would be. I held off sending the forms for a little while but as soon as I did I had my assessment a few days later.

Excellent experience made so easy. My assessment was with Lara and I can honestly say Lara made me feel so at ease and by the end of it I was diagnosed with ADHD with a score of 9/9 on all 3 parts. Getting the right diagnosis now opens up the doors that I now have the access to so I can get the treatment that I so need. Thank you skylight and thank you Lara. Ps time to start my real life even if it is at 46 years old, but hey.... it's never too late right? 👍

Communication leading to my assessment was clear and excellent and quick response times.
Being very anxious during my appointment, the assessor was very engaging and supportive, working hard to put me at my ease. The assessment was professional and thorough. I was given time to provide answers without feeling pressured. When I struggled, the assessor helped me to refocus. Feedback at the end was clear and I was given time to ask any questions that I had.
Thank you so much Skylight.

Excellent service

My assessor was great, very respectful and easy to chat to despite having to ask a lot of questions. The process was easier than I expected and the explanation of how things go moving forward was great.

Really lovely assessor. Kind patient and understanding. Made me feel very welcome and explained the process. Would highly recommend the service to others. Was a lot quicker than it would’ve been if I didn’t use right to choose
