Dr Philip Collins

Written by a carer at Lewisham CAMHS Service

I found Dr Collins very understanding and knowlegable. He was transparent about the diagnosis regarding my daughter. My daughter found him friendly. Going to the clinic before the pandemic was relax and organised. I would recommend him.

My daughter, who has suffered badly since her early teens from severe anxiety/depression and mood fluctuations, has been under the care of Dr. Collins for around 5 years and he has been enormously helpful. He has a kind, open demeanor and a practical yet sensitive approach to the complex nature of mental health issues. He always listens with great care to both myself and my daughter and his suggestions for treatment are put forward with absolute transparency about the effects of medication, alongside encouragement of a holistic approach to healing. We always feel that the decisions made about next steps in the consulting room are a collaborative effort and I am very grateful that his realistic, honest approach has been a defining factor in my daughter's ongoing recovery.

I met Dr Collins with my 13 year old daughter with complex difficulties. He was very understanding and helpful. He explained the diagnostic so that even my daughter with learning disabilities could understand. My daughter and I felt comfortable going to see Dr Collins. I give him a five star as he is the best I have see in a while. Thank you Dr Collins for making my daughter normal again. DJ Catford

My daughter has been a patient of Dr. Collins for around 4 years. We find him very pleasant to deal with. He is a good listener and very efficient and pragmatic. Dr. Collins always takes time to explain why he would prescribe certain medication, how they work or how other services could help. He encourages my daughter to have an active role in her treatment and I feel he always has her best interest in mind. I would definitely recommend Dr. Collins to other parents of young people who have mental health problems.
