Dr Kirsten Ellis assessed me for adhd, something I have been procrastinating about doing for years now and I was very nervous. I needn't have been as she was a pleasure to meet and put me at ease very quickly. She listened attentively even when I was conscious I was rambling but never made me feel silly. She was totally professional throughout but also very personable. Even when time was against us, she didn't rush me. I look forward to meeting with her again in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a thoroughly lovely psychiatrist.

I had an adult ADHD assessment with Dr Ellis today and couldn't be happier with the outcome. She made me feel at completely ease, whilst displaying professionalism throughout our appointment. Dr Ellis listened to every word I said and used her experience and intuition to guide our conversation naturally. Having felt invalidated by GPs, the assessment with Dr Ellis felt like a breath of fresh air, and I realised how invaluable it is to be truly understood. The diagnosis that she made has already changed my life for the better, and she looked at my wellbeing hollistically, taking into account traumas and life experiences. I received the service as an NHS payment but this experience really illustrated that you can't be a price on your health, and if I can afford it, I would love to have further help from Dr Ellis in the future.

Dr Ellis is such a friendly and caring person who instantly made me feel at ease. I was made to feel very safe and comfortable in both of my appointments when discussing my experiences that I have had with ADHD. There is no judgement at all and it is a very open flowing conversation. I would highly recommend seeing Dr Ellis.

Treatment aside, my experience with Dr Ellis was beyond expectation. Psychiatry is a relatively under-looked field. I sadly expected with ignorance, something similar to other clinical fields of medicine, questions of symptoms, pains, current medications, etc.. psychiatry illness are beyond the scope of physical illnesses, affecting personality, behaviour, anxiety, self-esteem, confidence, relationships. Dr Ellis made me feel heard and comfortable over quite frankly an embarrassing illness. Questions in how it made ME feel, I was given insight into how it affected my life. I felt confident after my assessment and a little brave in pursuing treatment. She was very kind and encouraging. Contacting Dr Ellis for psychiatry consultation is one of the few best choices Ive made.
