Dr Ghetau is fantastic. I consulted her after "failing" an autism assessment with the NHS despite several psychologists saying over the years that I probably had it. Having been told by the NHS that I did not have an asc, I began to worry that maybe I had something like a mix of borderline personality disorder + avoidant personality disorder, because what other explanation could there be for the chaos that was my life? I am 62 and I have known that something was not right I think for most of my life I felt very depressed and knew that I really ought to see a psychiatrist to find out what these disorders actually were or if it was something different like bipolar disorder. I just did not know. I actually first approached a colleague of Dr Ghetau's who suggested I spoke with her instead. I am so glad I did. I was worried about approaching her but there was no need to be. She was kind, attentive to my issues and listened and made sense of the things I was telling her. I also felt that she is probably pretty unshockable! At last I have my diagnosis of asc and adhd. Now I can go forward for the remaining years of my life knowing who I am, how I tick and how many of the situations I have found myself in the past are not of my making but a result of how I naturally react to the world around me. If you are looking for a psychiatrist for an asc or adhd assessment then Dr Ghetau is your doctor; look no further. It was worth every penny it cost for the assessments (there were two of them) and the titration of one medicine against others; I feel I am in safe hands and she is monitoring me carefully. Thank you Dr Ghetau for changing my life (or at least pointing me in the right direction towards changing it and giving me the wherewithal to do so). I am so relieved of a burden that I have carried around for most of my 62 years. It is never too late to get a diagnosis!
