“The whole assessment process was well explained throughout. We as parents felt listened to and things were adapted appropriately to meet our child’s needs, for example allowing a parent to stay until out child indicated we could leave as this works best for her. Throughout we felt well supported and lots of advice was available. The process seemed thorough and during the feedback session it was clear that the clinicians really knew our child. The report was clear and allowed us to understand things much more and how this impacts our child. It is difficult to take a step back and try to understand the bigger picture and this process truly allowed that. I would also add that it felt like clinicians really had the time to engage fully. We have lots of other health appointments for our child and these often feel very rushed in busy clinics meaning we can forget about things we had planned to ask.”

“Very thorough and open to exploring all avenues to best support my needs and overall wellbeing. The growth of the practice in recent years has been very positive and the standard of care and treatment remains an extremely high quality. TEP is flexible and understanding towards the needs of its clients.”

Parent of an ADHD Client: “Dr Thomas was very welcoming and good at explaining things. I felt she was able to relate to Luke very well.”

ADHD Client (12yrs+): “Dr Thomas was very welcoming and handled all my appointments and the information I gave her well in regard to what was mentioned to my father.”

Parent of a Combined Client: “Dr Thomas was thoughtful, helpful and very informative”.

Parent of an ADHD client: “Dr Wylie is wonderful and she made this experience a positive one”.

Parent of an ADHD Client: “Dr Graham very approachable professional and kind. But more than that I knew he had all the right skills knowledge and qualifications. I had complete trust.”

Parent of an ADHD Client: “You guys were brilliant. Doctor Graham was exceptional in his skills but also persona with my son made us feel normal. In a process that felt so very scary before we met him. I cannot thank him enough. Going forward, please make sure all your staff are like him, take the time with patients, don’t rush, normalise it and chat. I feel it’s the people we have been in touch with at the Edinburgh practice that made the experience good, and the welcoming atmosphere. I am so glad we chose you.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved throughout my journey with The Edinburgh Practice. It has been, and I hope will continue to be, a pleasure. 

In particular I’d like to thank Dr Shankar. The support and guidance has been very much appreciated. I still find it somewhat amazing that I have seen so much benefit from the prescribed medication.

For most of my 55 years prior to diagnosis life had been a bit of a struggle; or possibly a disappointment, to me. I never fully thought that I had done the things or achieved the goals that I felt I should. Procrastination and lethargy seemed to dominate and my happy place was with food and drink.

The c-change afforded by treatment has been nothing short of transformative. It’s like I’ve been gifted the life I’ve been looking for, for all these years. ADHD didn’t exist as a diagnosis when I was a child so have spent years worrying about why I was the way I was. Today I can sit here happy that I not only know the reasoning behind my life and choices but can look forward to the coming days with a motivation and focus I really thought was just a fantasy.  Without wanting to sound trite, it has been miraculous. I honestly can’t thank you enough.”

Thanks so much!”

“This clinic is outstanding as are the staff. From my first encounter I was treated with kindness and compassion and patience. I am really thankful to Dr Fiona who has really helped me through a difficult time and has taught me the tools I need to manage my anxiety myself. Highly recommend the clinic! They have a great Instagram page also!”

“Great clinic. Really kind staff. I was hesitant to go but my wife encouraged me and I am really glad she did. Everyone is welcoming, kind and calm. And I really like my doctor. We developed a rapport quickly. If anyone is like me and not sure if they should go I say definitely try The Edinburgh Practice.”

“From the start of my sessions with Dr Shekhar I felt very comfortable and safe enough to open up during the throws of my struggles…after cycling through a few therapists I knew I had found the right one. We then tackled a lot of the current issues I was facing at the time, concerning the self-esteem, relationships, anxiety and mood-management and I felt supported to accept these different parts of myself and understand why I may feel and react the way I do. I have always liked Dr Shekhar’s style of discussion, where she gives very visual examples… that make how I’m feeling/ thinking easier to conceptualise and also they have stuck with me throughout my journey. The work we did on values was also invaluable (pardon the pun!) and I really liked the survey style with the specific goals I could set myself. The mindfulness work was also taught in a clear and engaging way and I felt motivated to keep practising the skills in between the sessions. That is just a brief overview but I am so so thankful to Dr Shekhar for all the tools she has provided me for the next big steps and I feel so much more comfortable and sure of myself, having practiced acceptance and kindness both consciously and subconsciously during my time working with her. I am going to miss my sessions a lot and will definitely check in again before I leave Edinburgh. I know I will carry the skills I have learnt going forward. Thank you so much!!!”

“The warm reception team at TEP are helpful and welcoming, really assisting in the start of the journey. A special shout out for Iona’s professionalism, kindness, and support whenever I am in.

“I’m currently using the Edinburgh Practice and have done so for several months now. I can already say that the service they provide is life changing.

From the receptionists to my allocated psychologist, Dr Hannon, everyone makes you feel like you are welcome. The practice is an environment that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed – I feel free to talk and I feel they want to listen.

The facilities are fantastic and I actually look forward to visiting and talking. They are very well organised, communicate well, have an effective booking system that makes the whole process easy. I would highly recommend them to anyone look for mental health support.

I’m very grateful for The Edinburgh Practice and Dr Hannon for existing and providing the level of service they do. Thank You.”
