- Fantastic, would highly recommend. I saw Dr Walsh as I have a very complex physical and mental health history and he really does take the time to truly understand you and prepare a personalised approach. I’ve just had the one appt, looking forward to progressing with treatment
- It felt like Dr Walsh considered my needs more broadly, and thought 'bigger picture' than other psychiatrists in the past. I appreciated the time he took to uncover what I had going on - despite previous diagnoses.
- Dr Walsh is incredibly professional and caring. I found some things difficult to talk about, but he was always patient and understanding. I was upset when I was diagnosed with ASD, but he helped me process it by clearly explaining what it meant. I highly recommend him.
- Dr Walsh is possibly the first doctor to ever explain all of my symptoms. He did so concisely, detailed next steps, and after just a one hour consultation everything already feels much more manageable. He made me feel heard and reassured, and I can’t thank him enough.
- Really grateful for my first appointment with Dr. Walsh. He was really helpful and understanding. And while the outcome was not what I anticipated I have a clear set of actions and next steps to move forward.
- Dr Walsh made me feel very comfortable and I found it very easy to speak with him.
- Having initially been very nervous about the session I felt at ease with dr Walsh, and thought that his approach was extremely professional as well as compassionate and thorough.
