Testimonials
I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to Kiran Sharma. I could talk to her about anything. Her beautiful manner and the way she is, gave me the confidence to open up to her. She made me feel worthwhile, and did not look down on me. She made me feel so good about myself, in a way I miss my talks with her.
Harpreet has been absolutely incredible. My life has completely transformed within the space of a year and I cannot believe the progress that I have been able to make since attending CBT sessions for anxiety and depression at Elite...I can't thank Harpreet and the team enough for helping me to recover and giving me my life back!
My sessions with Menaz were wicked. Therapy was the best thing that I've done. My life has changed so much as I can eat two healthy meals a day without fear. I have loved attending sessions, doing my homework and I especially love the fact that I am, dare I say it cured.
It has been a comprehensively positive and constructive experience talking and working through things with Dr Menaz. If being able to help someone consists of willingness to do so and the tools to do so, she has done an excellent job both in terms of empathy and practical/technical wisdom and techniques.
When I started sessions with Dr Allen-Crooks I really didn’t know if I’d ever feel like ‘me’ again. I’d adapted to a new normal of relentless negative symptoms that I didn’t understand and I worried that the treatment would only help me manage living this way at best. I put my faith into the process and I am glad to say that each week I felt better and better and now, having been discharged, I feel fully back to myself at my most calm, stable, and strong. Dr Allen-Crooks was professional, thoughtful, and skilled at guiding me through each session, all the while reassuring me along the way and ensuring my mental health was the priority during the treatment. She helped me understand the nature of how the brain works throughout the treatment allowing me to feel empowered during a vulnerable time. I am very grateful to have been under her care.
