- I have been Paul's patient for over 5 years and he has been excellent throughout this time. He is incredibly personable and funny. Paul is always extremely knowledgeable about any of my medication questions. I have recommended him to friends on many occasions and would highly recommend him to anyone.
- Paul is amazing. He is always an email away & his approach is very good. I’m an ADHD patient and my communication is not top , but he makes it very easy!
- Dr Morrison has always treated me with dignity and respect, involving me in decisions. He has a humane, approachable manner, and is always a careful, attentive listener; I have always felt I have been heard during my assessment and treatment. Excellent.
- Paul has been an absolute lifesaver for me in times of chronic anxiety and depression. I found him easy to talk to and non-judgmental, which was a big relief during my first consultation. He's helped me through some difficult times with a combination of quality advice and information alongside prescription medication. I would highly recommend his services to anyone suffering from mental health issues, in need of swift action.
- Dr Paul Morrison saved my life! He was recommended by a friend after I was admitted to several clinics with anxiety and other health issues, like long covid, perimenopause and histamine and mast cell activation! I went to 3 mental health clinics and came out worse every time! I saw paul on line and he saved my life! He put me in adhd tablets and anxiety tablets! Always available very quickly for any questions or appointments. He is caring, knowledgeable and listens! Thank you Paul!!
- I have been working with Dr PM for over eight months and have consistently received excellent support. He is experienced, very responsive, and flexible with scheduling despite his very busy schedule. I found his guidance thoughtful. Consultations are professional yet friendly. I’d recommend reaching out to see if he is a good fit.
- I have been looked after by Paul for the last 3 years. He is professional to the point and has really helped me in managing my depression. Would highly recommend
- I have been a patient of Paul's for 5 years, in that time my life has changed dramatically. I was diagnosed with Bi Polar type 2 and ADHD and Paul has worked with me on stabilising my mental health with the appropriate medication, I went from up and down moods, outbursts, constant instability in work and relationships to a dramatic improvement in all these areas. Paul is an excellent psychiatrist, I am so grateful to have found him.
