Dr Monica Shaha

Written by a carer at Psychiatry-UK

Dr Shaha was amazing with my totally disengaged 15 year old son. She listened carefully to our concerns, managed to glean responses from my son and helped him to feel empowered and part of the decision making. She completely understood our difficulties and was understanding without being judgmental.Dr Shaha made my son and I feel relaxed and explained the process of the diagnosis and any additional support really clearly. She is obviously extremely knowledgeable and was able to explain how ADHD impacts on aspects of my son's life that I had not considered. I would highly recommend Dr Shaha as she was approachable, listened and used her expertise to support us.

My son is 15 and in his final year at school. He has been consistently struggling with school and studying and the recent increase in exam pressure is causing him to feel very low and disheartened as he is not managing well. We had suspected for a while that he could have ADHD and had contacted NHS CAHMS and are on a waiting list. Due to the time this is taking, our GP suggested we should consider having a private assessment. We live in the South West and there is no local provision for a private child psychiatric assessment. On searching on the internet, I came across Psychiatry UK, and somewhat in desperation to get something done I telephoned. We were given an informative and prompt service. Within a few days my son had his assessment with Dr Shaha, we had some forms for us as parents and for the school to complete and return, and then he had his follow up appointment. Today we received his prescription and detailed report. So, from the initial telephone call to receiving his medication and report this has all happened well within 2 weeks and for less money than we had anticipated. My son found Dr Shaha to be kind and understanding and he felt able to speak openly and honestly with her. As parents we too felt at ease, she listened carefully and all of our questions were answered thoroughly. We are delighted that we discovered this on-line option and found the whole arrangement to be professional and efficient. We just wish we had discovered Dr Shaha and Psychiatry UK years ago!

My son was struggling with worsening depression and our GP practice was unable to diagnose or provide medication. Access to CAMHS without a diagnosis would have meant weeks of anxious waiting without any certainty of outcome. I searched for a local psychiatrist and came across Dr Monica Shaha. My son was seen within days, and was given a very extensive consultation along with a detailed report, diagnosis and suggested medication. He has received excellent follow up care and support. Dr Monica Shaha is a very understanding, caring and professional person, and she immediately made my son feel at ease. I would highly recommend her.

Dr Shaha was the first medical professional to properly understand my daughter's anxiety. She was friendly and so easy to talk to, and great at interacting with my 10-year-old, who trusted her and opened up to her. The treatment she provided transformed both our lives.
