Skylight Psychiatry Avis 

I’m not going to lie, I’ve never had any sort of psychiatric assessment previously but Skylight and particularly Ruth put me at ease throughout the appointment. She ensured that I was first and foremost comfortable with what I wanted to share and she guided me to talk in more depth about my symptoms and what I had been experiencing. I hope all assessments would be like this one.

I have been experiencing difficulty in living and getting a good foot in for a long time.

They were very informative and efficient even with all of the detail they took and had to interpret. I was matched with psychiatrists and nurses that were able to both identify and inform me on my condition.

The best feeling I have from their service is that I no longer feel alone or isolated.

Not a cure , guidance to set you the right course.

I would recommend Skylight to anyone who has been struggling, no matter how long for. I didn't have to wait long for the assessment which I truly appreciate as struggle is real and a long wait adds stress. I myself have been diagnosed with a disorder and I can't tell you enough how my Consultant, Bernhard took such care and compassion, gently guiding me through the assessment, which of course I was nervous about. Bernhard helped to make sense out of what I have been experiencing, especially over these last years where my symptoms became worse, I never felt judged only supported with genuine care. I prayed the Consultant would be understanding and to be honest I feel he has shed a light in the fog I'm under, and now finally for the first time I realise I don't have to carry this alone, there are services.... (including and starting with Skylight that will help!!)... I'm not very trusting of people usually but I trust this service and would recommend them and Bernhard every time).
Thank you very much for all your care and support because of your service, I feel that even though I have a journey ahead of me at least I have somewhere to start from now which is everything to me 🤍🤍

Was anxious about the assessment but Eddie put me at ease and listened to my struggles . He also gave me loads of information and explained everything clearly to me. Was a very comfortable assessment so glad I got Eddie and chose skylight .

I recently completed an assessment with Skylight Psychiatry and had a very positive experience. The waiting time was not bad at all, and the process went smoothly. I particularly want to thank the psychiatrist, Stephen Wilson. He was really good and made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire session. I highly recommend their service.

Diagnosis process was simple and thorough. Doctors were lovely to talk to

Debbie was very kind and helpful and make me feel comfortabl. Thank you

Would reccomend, nice guy, really helpful

I found skylight Psychiatry in every aspect of the service, from dealings with the receptionist to the assessor.
Very friendly, helpful, extremely easy to deal with.
I would also would like to say Skylight Psychiatry are first class and would highly recommend them.
I am a very happy client. Thank you.

My microphone wasn’t working with the software they used for the video call so I had to use my phone. The phone signal kept cutting out so I couldn’t hear the person at times. I also couldn’t understand their accent. Also the person wasn’t a psychiatrist and was just using a computer to check boxes.

I felt the practitioner CJ really got to know me and asked all the right questions. I was explained the process clearly. Highly recommended

Skyline was wonderful from the first point of contact through to my assessment/diagnosis. Their communication was clear and concise. Directions were easy to follow and the wait for an appointment was much quicker than I thought it would be! Most of all, my assessor was brilliant! She was great at explaining the assessment process at the beginning of my appointment and came across as professional, sympathetic and gave me plenty of time to talk. We took the whole 1.5 hours and I never felt rushed. She explained the outcome clearly and gave me time for any further questions and next steps.

Very quick to provide me with an assessment appointment. Effectively, professionally and kindly carried out and a diagnosis on the day. Great communication from referral onwards with clear forms and instructions on how to complete. Some acknowledgment that forms have submitted correctly would be the cherry on top but given my assessment was through the nhs, I’m super impressed with the speed and professionalism. 10 weeks from seeing my gp and a referral going in to the conclusion. Excellent service.

I went through right to choose via NHS, all within a month I had been sent my assessment forms to fill out, given my date for my remote assessment call, which I had yesterday. The nurse I had Wioleta was lovely, she made me feel comfortable and she just let me be me. She explained the outline of what the call would be and then at the end of my call I got my diagnosis. She then informed me of when I will receive my report then the options of what I could do next. She was very professional explained things to me.

The appointment came really quickly less from 6 weeks.
The process was very easy with straight forward procedures and did not make it complicated.
The face to face appointment was professional although on a friendly basis. I was made to feel relaxed and comfortable.
I felt listened to and was definitely understood.
It was comforting to be able to talk freely and not feel judged on any level.
Result was given at the end of the session.
Excellent communication

My experience with Skylight was amazing, during my assessment the person I was talking to was very helpful and understanding and patient with me, it made me feel appreciated and listened to

After using right to choose I have been referred to Skylight.
I recently had my assessment with Monique after a short wait following referral.
Monique was very patient, kind and gentle.
She made the whole process seem less daunting.
So far I am very pleased with how I have been looked after.
Thank you very much.

Very efficient, quicker waiting times, communicated with compassion

My assessor, Monique Thompson, really made me feel comfortable and the whole assessment was completed at my own pace and she really took the time to understand my difficulties. When she noticed I was upset by the outcome (diagnosed ADHD) she was super kind and reassuring and pointed me to some good resources to help me gain a better understanding of how my brain works.

In addition to this, the process from referral to assessment so far has been extremely quick and efficient (after waiting more than a year previously on the NHS waiting list).

I am very much looking forward to starting my medication titration and moving forward with my life. Thanks again Monique!

Brilliant people who care, a very strange time in my life made better by reassurance and support. Thankyou.
