Dr Klemperer is incredibly warm and easy to speak to. The conversation with was very insightful as she helped me understand how to manage my thoughts to better deal with certain situations. She is very perceptive and understood well how to draw out explanations from me, which helped me to naturally gain an awareness of how to interpret my feelings. I would highly highly recommend her for any patient!

I was referred to Dr Klemperer seeking a second opinion on an assessment I had received previously from another practitioner.
The previous practitioner had used online cognitive test platforms and a single interview and suggested that I may be on the borderline but didn't recommend (or appear particularly interested in) further investigation.
Dr Klemperer's approach felt much more person-focussed, we went through detailed interviews and she took the time to review some notes and documents from my childhood to inform her decision. She came to a different diagnosis from the one I had received before and went through a trial and assessment of medication with me, finally finding something which has started to help my day to day life.
I have found Dr Klemperer to be engaging and easy to talk to and I'm grateful for the assistance I've received from her and her team.

The Dr took longer than the appointment allowed to explain the feedback thoroughly sending supplementary documents to help explain the meeting.

Dr Klemperer provided outstanding care from the very beginning of the process. I felt completely comfortable, interactions were performed with genuine interest whilst ensuring a thorough and robust investigation. Different stages and tests had been explained clearly and I felt profoundly reassured at the time of receiving the diagnosis and beyond.

I chose Dr Klemperer from a list of Psychiatrists sent to me via my health insurance provider. I’m so glad I did. I expect Psychiatrists to be more clinical, in a look down on me and treat me like I’m a number sort of way. Dr Klemperer is very friendly and down to earth. As another review says - human.
Nothing seems too much trouble. You won’t be rushed. You will be listened to and Dr Klemperer will collaborate with you to find the best way forward. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Profile
I studied medicine at Cambridge University and Guy’s Hospital, London.
I trained in psychiatry at Guy’s Hospital, where I conducted award-winning research, publishing in the British Medical Journal and the British Journal of Psychiatry.
In addition, I hold the Institute of Psychiatry's qualification in cognitive behavioural therapy, a field in which I am recognised by the Royal College of Psychiatrists as having special expertise. This combined knowledge of psychiatry and psychotherapy allows me to make comprehensive assessments of my patients’ life difficulties.
I have worked as a consultant psychiatrist in London and Brussels, with over 20 years experience as a consultant in general adult psychiatry.
I practice in the NHS in Westminster and in Kensington and Chelsea, am an honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at Imperial College and have an independent practice.
I aim always to collaborate closely with my patients to properly understand their particular situation and to actively work with them to develop the most appropriate and effective long-term therapeutic plan.
