After three years with Dr. Christina Palmer, I can finally write this properly. I started seeing her when I was completely overwhelmed. Stressed, anxious, and running on fumes. I’d had enough of therapists who just sit there nodding while you spill your guts. Christina isn’t like that. She actually thinks. She listens, remembers, and works with you like a real person, not just a textbook case. She's helped me unravel a load of trauma and situational stress, but more importantly, she’s helped me change. Slowly, and with work. But honestly, I didn’t think that was possible before. What I really respect is that she doesn’t just rely on talking therapy. She looks at the bigger picture. We’ve done EMDR, we’re doing neurofeedback, and she’s always considering what will actually help, not just what ticks a box. The staff are great too. Friendly, no attitude, no weird energy. Just calm, kind people who know what they’re doing. I’ve still got work to do. But I’m not the same person who walked in three years ago. I’m more grounded, more clear, and I’ve got hope again. If you’re barely holding it together but still believe, even a tiny bit, that things could be better, go see her. She’s one of the good ones.

I had a combined autism and ADHD assessment and the whole process was both thorough and compassionate. I enjoyed talking to every single person I met there (the assessment involves multiple team members) and conversations felt unhurried. Just to set expectations, even as a private practice they are in demand and there are several steps to the assessment, so the whole process end to end from initial contact was nearly six months with a short initial wait and a wait for the report. However they are always clear on timings and the final report was very detailed. They helped me a lot and I would definitely recommend the service.

I have been using the services of Sussex Psychological Therapy for the last couple of years and I’ve been extremely happy with the support, compassion and professionalism that I have received. I have seen several other professionals over the last 10 years and I have found Sussex Psychological Therapy to be the best by far. I would highly recommend them to others. Thanks for everything.

Thoroughly professional service from start to finish. They were friendly and helpful and the intial assessment was done swiftly but with a personal feel. I was made to feel very at ease and everything was explained fully. Would highly recommend.

Initial assessment lasted about 8 minutes out of the total 15. Not great for someone in crisis. They were very abrupt which is not helpful when you are speaking about yourself. They apologised for being late, and then stated they would speak to MDT to find someone suitable but did not tell me when this would be. No follow up provided for two weeks no email stating when I would be seen and how long a wait I may have. I only received an email from them today, outlining that if no reply 24 hours my appointment would be reallocated to someone else. I have found another centre in the meantime and would not recommend.
