Dr James Woolley

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.

I was recommended Dr Woolley for Aviation Mental Health, particularly to address past mental health history. We conveniently met via e-consult, and Dr Woolley was very thorough in his assessment. He was responsive to emails and produced a thorough report, incorporating relevant details needed for regulatory authorities. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Woolley for aviation mental health issues.

Really understanding and easy to talk to. Made me feel completely comfortable the entire time. Very clear, would absolutely recommend. Thank you!

Dr Woolley was very friendly, thorough and professional in his approach to the appointment. I found the way the session and the conversation were run not only constructive but showed an understanding of my situation and the purpose of the appointment. The follow-up correspondence to the appointment was also diligent and timely. I highly recommend Dr Woolley.

Dr Woolley responded to my initial queries very quickly and reassured me that I would receive the service I needed. It was a little difficult to get a suitable appointment due to his busy schedule but his online calendar and booking system works seamlessly. Dr Woolley was reasonably prompt in starting the meeting and more than met my expectations in the assessment. He was friendly, respectful and professional and provided me good information about the next steps. I would definitely recommend him as he knows the industry very well. Having an online assessment option was just what I needed.
