"Professional and empathetic "

About: Psychiatry-UK

I recently engaged with the NHS Glasgow QEUH psychology and psychiatry consultants , I am grateful for their support. During a time when I felt incredibly vulnerable, they ensure I was heard and understood.

From the very beginning, both the psychology and psychiatry consultsnts showed a heartfelt level of empathy and dedication. They took the time to listen to me, making me feel valued and acknowledged. It was evident that they genuinely cared about my well-being and were committed to providing the support I needed.

One aspect that particularly stood out to me was their understanding and sensitivity towards the impact of racism on mental health. It was clear that they had a profound awareness of how such experiences can affect one's psychological state. This level of empathy and insight made a significant difference in our sessions, allowing me to open up more freely and feel truly supported.

Moreover, when I shared my past struggles with suicidal thoughts, they responded with compassion and immediate action, rather than distancing themselves. Instead of reverting to a generic approach, they tailored their support to my specific needs, ensuring I felt safe and cared for. Their decision to involve me more closely in my care plan, rather than referring me back to the community team via phone, highlighted their commitment to my recovery.

The genuine interest, empathy, and professional expertise demonstrated by both consultants have played a crucial role in my reassurance . It's comforting to know that such dedicated and compassionate professionals are available to those in need of mental health.
