I have been seeing Dr Arora for over two years now. He has always been very attentive and understanding. He has been especially helpful regarding my medication, in regards to finding the type that best works for me.

Dr Arora has helped me so much with understanding ADHD and giving me the tools to navigate day to day life as best as possible. I would be in a much worse position without him! Dr Arora is so kind, gentle, patient, listens so well and asks the right questions to help me make sense of why I behave the way I do or feel all the emotions I do. His empathy is amazing and I never feel like I am "abnormal" with my ADHD, in fact in some respects, he has helped me to appreciate that it is also my superpower. Thank you for being there, always being on the other end of the phone or email in between appointments, I feel so supported and safe knowing that you are there for me. I highly recommend Dr Arora to anyone needing mental health support.

I had given up hope of any release from depression and addiction. At rock bottom and in the hope of one last attempt at finding peace I was recommended to Dr Arora. Working with me patiently, unwavering in his questioning to understand and most importantly really hearing me and digging deeper when needed I finally began a process that has allowed me to move from my self- imposed hell into a place where I have honestly found peace and a reconnection with life I did not think possible. Dr Arora took care of my medication and therapeutic approach and I still entrust this to him as through this I have now achieved 3 full years of freedom from the web of depression and destructive patterns that was killing any enjoyment of life. I believe it will always be a journey but I never feel alone. I know I can always reach out to him if something feels destabilising and continue to navigate life in all its glories and challenges. Life is not always rosy or easy but I no longer experience the hopelessness. Dr Aroras character exudes gentleness and acceptance, there is never judgement and that creates a safe space into which to unload all of the past that I was carrying. This has allowed me to stop it infecting the future. He has a great memory (or is an excellent note taker) and he reminds me when necessary either about the reasoning I took a former action and help me accept current discomfort as a way through to the freedom I was seeking. It is never a smooth journey, there are times of great release and others of slow progress but he always stands firm in the belief that a healthy enjoyable life can be achieved. He takes away the "hopelessness" and helps me keep moving forward even when the path is rocky. The gentleness masks the heart of a lion for he is certainly fierce and sustained in his advocation and encouragement. I put my faith in him at a time I had no faith in myself and he carried that until I could assume responsibility. He always makes you feel that you are valid and valued and entitled to the opportunity for a good quality of life. Dr Arora is always the first to acknowledge that the relationship works because I put the work in but I put the work in because he somehow managed to help me move to a place where I could trust and find hope.
