Dr Wayne Kampers

Written by a patient at The Priory Hospital Roehampton

I saw Dr Kampers on the recommendation of my psychologist. I came to him very anxious and depressed, and feeling very desperate. I was almost immediately put at ease by Dr Kampers. He instils a great trust very quickly. He is clearly an expert in his field, and I felt confident he would be able to help me. I was given hope that I could be helped. He was extremely patient and listens very carefully. The detail he will recall on subsequent visits is impressive. He explains exactly what he is suggesting and why, how you may be impacted and so on. I like that he takes a very holistic approach to his practice - giving me other dietary and similar advice alongside medicating. I feel safe in his care. I would highly recommend Dr Kampers.

I find Dr Kampers comfortable to be around, genuinely caring in his treatment of my mental health and totally concerned with my well being whilst being treated by him. He is attentive to personal struggles, mental symptoms and pharmacological treatments. He has been complimentary and has been ready to give honest advice when faced with difficulties which has been most appreciated. I have come in leaps and bounds over the past 2 and a bit years.

When I first met Dr Kampers I was at an all time low. Little did my family or I know how unwell I was. On seeing me for the first time, Dr Kampers immediately knew I needed help, diagnosing me with clinical depression. The depression had built up over a year post having my first child and being on maternity leave however it had extended far beyond post natal depression. When I met with Dr Kampers, I had lost my appetite, could not sleep, lost a significant amount of weight and was very unstable. He was calm, collected, patient and compassionate as I accepted I needed help through appropriate in patient care. I was scared and upset. Never did I feel pressured in any decision making and throughout his care which lasted over a year - he made my views and wishes part of his care plan. Dr Kampers’ approach to my care was second to none and he literally saved my life. His extensive knowledge in his field is immediately apparent through every conversation. He spent the time to understand all aspects of my life to help identify what was causing my depression. He took great pleasure in learning about my family - husband and daughter as a way to understand how I was supported and how my illness was settling. His guidance was not limited to my mental health but he used his expertise to help me manage weight gain which was caused by the anti depressants - guiding me on suggested eating as well as providing help on settling back into work as well as thinking to the future namely about how to cope and handle future pregnancies and children. Dr Kampers is second to none. His years of studying, research and industry dedication has made him into a fantastic consultant. I’m truly thankful to have come across Dr Kampers and I would highly recommend him. My family and I are so grateful for Dr Kampers’ help, guidance and support.

I was exceptionaly impressed by my experience of Dr Kampers. I approached him when looking for a turn around in my life. Having spent nearly 20 years struggling with clinicians and psychologists who were over cautious in dealing with my opinionated views and a crushing burden of serious depressive illness I was cynical that I would ever recover. In fact Dr K was far and away the most impressive of the professionals that I had met. He provided me with a real incentive to look at myself as part of the real world (rather than as a client with problems). He did not tell me what to do but showed a direct but very polite approach which made me think about what I could do for myself. After a few days (and without consulting with him) I discontinued the therapy he had recommended. I also decided to cease taking any medication. In our meeting after these decisions he was supportive and made no attempt to undermine my determination. His response in this and subsequent meetings was a substantial element in my complete recovery from a depressive illness that had dogged my life for many years. Without his involvement I would not have recovered. I still have the same personality and experience ups and downs in life. But they are now just the ordinary ups and downs that everyone has. My career has always been very pressured and intellectual; I have many years of assessing the competence of other professionals. This is the base line against which I comment on Dr K. I know many psychiatrists through my work. Wayne Kampers is a superb professional; I never thought I would be free of mental illness. Now I am. His involvement led me to think for myself; so and the therapy which

I would happily, and wholeheartedly, recommend Dr Kampers to anyone seeking help with their mental health. I first met Dr K a year ago, when I had pretty much lost my battle with depression and anxiety and was in the death throws of a complete breakdown. I immediately felt a genuine connection and rapport with Dr K - a complete rarity when you suffer from serious depression. He was frank and honest with me from the start, and he motivated me to work on myself and start getting better. I can honestly say that without his assistance I may very well have been dead before the end of 2017. Instead, I am happy, positive, and healthy, and I’m getting better every single day.
