Skylight Psychiatry Avis 

I was referred to this psychiatric service two months ago and completed all the required forms and questionnaires, only to hear nothing back. After chasing them by email and phone, I was eventually told that funding would not be renewed until April 2027, meaning I may wait over a year just to find out whether an assessment date is available.

The funding issues are understandable; the complete lack of communication is not. Patients seeking psychiatric support deserve timely updates, transparency and basic respect, not to be left in limbo after completing every requested step.

This level of communication is disgraceful and unacceptable for a service providing mental healthcare. As taxpayers, we fund NHS services expecting accountability and care. I seriously question whether this provider deserves public funding when it cannot even communicate properly with the patients referred to it. I expect them to write something like oh this name is not in our records. Just check who Amy responded to on 22nd of OCt you will find me.

The person who was dealing with me was incredibly patient and helpful, I didn't know what to expect but I was made to feel at ease throughout the whole conversation, I discovered a lot about myself I never knew before and I believe it will help me a great deal in the future.

I’ve just finished my medication titration with Iftikhar, and he was amazing throughout the whole process. He was patient, knowledgeable and genuinely focused on finding the right medication for me.

The whole process was seamless, and I felt supported every step of the way. The positive impact it has had on my life has honestly been incredible.

I couldn’t recommend him more highly. Thank you for making what could have been a daunting process such a positive experience!

Skylight were professional and informative throughout the experience. The assessors were patient and kind, guiding the sessions with clear experience and understanding.
I came to Skylight through the Right To Choose pathway and through a friends recommendation after she went through the pathway herself.
I would highly recommend them to anyone for ADHD and Autism diagnosis.

Made what was a really difficult situation and emotional easier

Really impressed. Clear communication, delivered within predicted wait times, professional and empathetic staff (for all assessments). Given negative media coverage of RTC process, I have been pleasantly surprised and would def recommend Skylight.

I had a consulatation with andy it was quite difficult to speak about things but i was made to feel like i was in a safe space the consultation was handled with compassion and professionalism i would recommend skylight

My first impressions were unfortunately not great as the first clinician I met with was lacking understanding and his overall attitude was very poor. THEN along came Megan Fisher who is a nurse with Skylight and I have never come across a more understanding, professional and efficient lady. She made the rest of the process so easy and it really was a pleasure to have her as my nurse. As someone with complex health conditions I have encountered many nurses and I wish all nurses were like Megan Fisher.

My assessor was compassionate, understanding and extremely patient

Fantastic service. Helpful, knowledgeable, professional & good contact during my waiting period. I'd definitely recommend 👌

The consultant I spoke with, Hannah Little, made me feel completely at ease and able to speak freely when answering questions. I also felt listened to and that Hannah had a good understanding of what I was going through. Overall I would say I received an excellent service and I would recommend Skylight to others.

I used Skylight psychiatry for an ADHD assessment through RTC - NHS. From the pre assessment to the actual diagnosis, they were very clear, helpful & friendly . My assessor was very understanding and patient throughout which was lovely as it was a daunting time! The process went smoothly & way quicker than expected. Very grateful for such a lovely experience so far :)

From the beginning to the end of the clinical assessment, the coordinator was extremely helpful and respectful in dealing with queries relating to my diagnosis.
I felt comfortable and safe sharing personal and confidential information with the co-ordinator, so she could give me the correct diagnosis.

I was really pleased with my appointment and felt listened to. I am looking forward to progressing with my support from Skylight Psychiatry

very trustworthy very helpful would definitely recommend this place

A pleasure to talk to

Skylight have been brilliant. I’m a 42 year old lady and this is the first time in my life that I feel I’ve been listened to and understood. I had 3 assessments and each person I spoke with were kind, empathetic and took the time to listen to me and make me feel understood and valued.
My only criticism is that if you need to contact skylight in between, it takes a while for them to email back as I wasn’t given a contact number. Overall I am extremely happy with the service I received. From the time I put in my application to getting assessed was very quick and straightforward. Thank you Skylight.

Shamir has been wonderful in guiding me through the uncharted waters of this type of medication. We made some adjustments along the way and have come to a fantastic place with his support. He and Skylight have been so great in helping me manage the program.

I honestly can’t recommend Skylight enough.

Starting this journey at 40 years old has been genuinely life-changing for me. I didn’t go into the process looking for a diagnosis of any kind. I went into it wanting to understand what was going on and why I had struggled with certain things throughout my life.

I had my assessment in November 2025, my diagnosis was formally confirmed in December, and I started the titration process at the end of April 2026. Throughout all of it, the team at Skylight have been incredibly supportive. They’ve answered my questions, helped me understand the process and genuinely felt like they were there with me throughout.

Lara, who supported me through my titration, was incredible. She is such a kind-hearted person and it was always very clear that she genuinely wanted the best for me as her patient.

I’m also very lucky to have an amazing GP who has fully supported me throughout this whole process, as well as a brilliant therapist, and I’ve tried to use everything I’ve learned and been given to move forward with my life.

There is so much negative conversation and bad press around ADHD and diagnosis, but for people like me, this process can genuinely be a lifeline. Understanding how my brain works has changed so much for me. I’m achieving things now that I have struggled with my whole life, and I feel like I’m finally able to move forward and be the best version of myself.

It has genuinely been life-changing, and I can’t thank Skylight enough.

The consultant I got to speak to, has made me feel at ease and made me feel listen to. The compaction and understanding of my condition and struggles I am going through were taken into account and greatfull for the service overall.many thanks
