Dr Geraldine D'Souza

Written by a patient at St Andrew's Hospital

I have had mental health issues for a very long time and had been 'well' for 8 years until this episode. When I first visited Dr D'Souza I felt broken and thought I was well on my way to a full on breakdown. Dr D'Souza's experience, diagnosis, kindness, support and coaching meant that by session 2 I was on my way to feeling more 'me'. I cannot thank her enough

I care for my elderly mother diagnosed by Dr D'Souza as suffering from mixed dementia. From the very outset Dr D'Souza has been welcoming, considerate and friendly to my mother and to our family. Meetings are never hurried and her judgements are perceptive and based on the careful assessment of our problems; allowing the fullest opportunity for my mother to talk about her difficulties and for us carers to contribute our views. Medication is always fully explained and options are discussed. Dr. D'Souza's advice has always been very valuable in addressing our difficulties as carers and in overcoming anxieties and disabilities that go with Mum's condition. Dr. D'Souza is always available to advise on the phone; always phoning back quickly to answer our calls. As a family we have found Mum's condition distressing and Dr' D'Souza's support has been has been invaluable. She has helped us to understand Mum's dementia. Her advice has been spot-on and given gently but with necessary firmness. I would not hesitate to recommend her unreservedly.

After seeing a NHS psychiatrist for several years and getting no-where I found Dr.G. D'Souza and just wish I had found her sooner, she is brilliant. I just feel better by seeing her, worth every penny!!! I look forward to my visits and I have every confidence that I am on the road to recovery. I don't think there is anything about her that needs any improving.
