Mr Michael Curtis

Written by a private patient at Divergence

Michael was very professional but also put my daughter at ease during her initial assessment. He got her talking about things that I had never heard her say before.

Michael approached the meeting professionally but also conversationally. He made it clear that he was looking to answer certain questions, which made me feel that the questions would be consistent for all clients. Michael listened actively, and helped me to develop my answers. We covered a lot of ground over the hour call. Michael explained clearly about what the report will cover, that it is not a diagnosis and the routes I am free to choose once I receive the report. He was clear about the timescale. There was an opportunity to raise questions, and Michael also gave the opportunity to ask questions after the call, should any arise.

We had our initial assessment with Michael. My 9yr old son who is already diagnosed ASD was very nervous but instantly Michael put him at ease. He asked appropriate questions which he was able to understand and listened to what he was told. The conversation flowed which was much better than a tick box exercise. He was able to see my son in his safe space and this helped in seeing the real him. We were very impressed with his knowledge and understanding and are looking forward to further sessions.

I had my inital accessment with Michael, he was very supportive during the review, having had a diagnosis via my University back in 2006 I decided to finally get some help for my stuggles, due to the diagnosis being a few years ago and having limited documentation from the original diagnosis, I've had to start this journey again, Initially trying the right to choose option, but being a year in I felt very let down and I would be waiting a further few years, I contacted Divergence after hearing really good things from a patient who has gone through the same process, they were quick to respond and set me up with the initial meeting, Michael asked a series of questions I felt very at ease talking away ( probably talking little to much at times) I came away from assessment feeling much more at ease with things, almost like a weight has finally been lifted and that progress is finially being made to get me the care that a trully need, I really appreciate Michael taking time for the meeting and certainly would recommend him.

I had a pre-diagnosis assessment meeting with Michael yesterday and he was very supportive, caring and was able to answer my questions clearly. I felt he asked relevant questions and worked at a pace to suit my needs and to gather the information he needed for my report. He had clearly prepared for my appointment by reviewing the information I had submitted previous to the session and kept me fully informed of what would happen next after the meeting. I have every confidence in him and his work. Overall an excellent appointment- thank you Michael!
