I have been seeing a therapist here for a few years. I cannot express the transformation that I have had personally with the help of my therapist, it’s been life changing. Wonderful service and team. Everyone is very friendly, kind and helpful.

Part of me wishes I met Dr Strong 20 years ago but I know I met her at the right time and when I really needed her. From not processing childhood trauma, holding on to grief and dealing with having heart surgery at the age of 35, Dr Strong helped lift a cloud that has weighed over me for most of my life. She helped me come to the realisation that I am strong and I matter and I can survive anything thrown at me. Life won’t be all smiles and rainbows and that’s ok, but picking myself up and letting myself feel whatever I need to feel instead of boxing it up and packing away will stay with me. Thank you Dr Stong.

I have been a patient of Sinclair- Strong Consultants since 2020, when I lost my dad very suddenly. My counselling sessions were personalised and adapted to suit me as a person and Linda was extremely beneficial in helping me through my greif and other troubles I had going on alongside. I saw her for about 7 months and eventually felt comfortable ending my counselling, however I returned earlier this year for further sessions. There was no hesitation in picking up the phone to Linda's office and requesting an appointment to see her personally. I had a bond with her already and she knew exactly how my mind worked so I felt completely comfortable returning. The methods and techniques she has taught me in our sessions have helped me so much and I am applying them on a daily basis. This has made me stronger as a person and I can now deal with certain challenges that life throws at me. Thank you so much, my life would have turned out very different hadn't I reached out for help......and received the right help 🌻

I am an adult woman with ADHD. I was waiting for 2 years for an autism assessment and the referral was actually made by my doctor, not myself Eventually, my assessment was outsourced to Sinclaie-Strong as Psicon was inundated. I travelled an hour and a half by train to get to King's Hill. This was in 2021. I'm only writing this review now, because I have since spoken to people about my experience there, and have been told that the practice was extremely inappropriate. I am now a 37 year old woman, at the time was in my mid thirties, and my assessment consisted of playing with toys with the nurse, reading a children's book, all while being observed by a doctor. This was one of the most awkward and degrading moments for me, as I am very much a people pleaser due to wanting to fit in socially, and at the end of what I now know was a child assessment I was given, was told that the symptoms were likely my ADHD because I was "too good socially". I told my doctor about it recently who was appalled, and told me it was indeed not age appropriate, and put me back on the waiting list suggesting I file a complaint through the formal process, which I will. The waiting list is now years longer, so thanks to this place it will be a very long time before I have any answers. If you're an adult woman going for an ASD assessment, do not go here.
