I was Dr Moodley’s patient for 2.5 years and found her to be a compassionate, approachable, and knowledgeable doctor. After diagnosing me with Bipolar I Disorder, Dr Moodley initially acted to stabilise my mood and, together with the therapist that she recommended, helped me understand how to manage my mental health in the longer term. I always felt like a person rather than a ‘case’ during our appointments, and appreciated her directness even when she was saying things that I didn’t want to hear. With her support, I have not had a significant mood episode for over a year. Dr Moodley’s approach is collaborative, non-judgemental, and open-minded. She is never patronising and takes the time to explain things, such as how medications work or other available options. I have recommended Dr Moodley to a couple of friends and would recommend her without reservation to anyone seeking a supportive, experienced psychiatrist.
