Dr James Woolley

Dr Woolley is exceptionally professional and really great to speak to. Would absolutely recommend.

Dr James Woolley is a very trustworthy person to chat too. He never rushed and paid a lot of attention to the small details. We were able to have a laugh whilst discussing serious issues. He made me feel at ease. I would 100% recommend anyone who is needing his services to go to him first!

James was very helpful in the process of gaining my aviation health certificate. The online appointment was convenient and James made me feel comfortable talking about previous personal issues. After the appointment the report was sent to me quickly and was very thorough. I would highly recommend James for Aviation mental health appointments.

I cannot recommend Dr Woolley highly enough. From the very first appointment, I felt listened to, respected, and properly understood. Dr Woolley has a calm, professional and compassionate manner, and takes the time to explain things clearly without ever making you feel rushed. What stood out most was the combination of genuine empathy and expert clinical judgement. I felt that my concerns were taken seriously, and the advice and treatment options were discussed in a thoughtful, balanced way. Dr Woolley helped me make sense of what I was experiencing and gave me confidence that there was a clear plan going forward. Mental health appointments can feel daunting, but Dr Woolley created a safe and supportive environment where it was easy to speak openly. I am very grateful for the care, patience and professionalism shown throughout, and I would strongly recommend Dr Woolley to anyone seeking high-quality psychiatric support.

Dr Woolley is so compassionate and easy to talk to. I loved my sessions with him and ultimately he was able to help me make changes and find the right combination of medication to change my life. I can't thank him enough.

Dr James was so helpful and completed the admin and meeting in good time and to a very high standard, during the meeting Dr James got the information he needed without asking too many questions, turned into a friendly and relaxed conversation. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get an aviation medical.

James put me at ease immediately and provided the best levels of help, care and support

I cannot recommend Dr James Woolley more highly, he set me at ease from the moment we met via video link, which was so much more convenient than having to make a long journey. Dr Woolley allowed me the freedom to explain a rather long, convoluted and unusual history, which he was very understanding about, seeing things from my perspective perfectly, without any prejudice or discrimination, which I had unfortunately experienced with others beforehand and his thorough and professional report reflected this which I am very happy with. The whole process from booking the appointment, proving preliminary information, the meeting and receiving the finalised report was efficient and great value for money. Dr Woolley was brilliant, it was so nice to have met him.

Very straightforward and honest open discussion about aviation medical certification requirements and good advice for onward care. Efficient appointment via video. Would definitely use again if needed.

I cannot recommend Dr James Woolley highly enough. He is an exceptional clinician: thorough, intelligent, deeply compassionate, and a truly attentive listener. At a time when I was questioning the legitimacy of my own symptoms and feeling increasingly desperate, Dr Woolley took the time to explore my presentation in detail. He was the first doctor who neither dismissed my experience nor jumped to conclusions. Instead, he carefully differentiated what might be psychological from what was likely physical and, crucially, identified probable underlying causes that had previously been overlooked. Thanks to his insight and holistic approach, I was referred to the right specialists and finally received care for my Long Covid. The difference has been life-changing. Dr Woolley pitched information at exactly the right level, neither patronising nor overwhelming, and helped me understand the interaction between mental health and complex physical symptoms in a way that was empowering. With the right treatment plan, including appropriate medication, I am now functioning again and have been able to return to work, something I thought I might have to give up entirely. He combines outstanding clinical expertise with genuine humanity, and I remain deeply grateful for his care.
