I would highly recommend Oxford Brain and Mind to any person seeking help with any psychiatric issue and assessments for autism. I tried my luck in contacting the clinic on 2 Jan (a day after the new year / public holidays when most clinics were closed). I was desperate to get help for someone I love for anxiety/depression-related issues. Sanjay was very responsive and understanding, securing a slot for us to see Dr Malhotra quickly. Dr Malhotra was thorough in her assessment and diagnosis, offering an effective treatment plan. The plan works perfectly well for us. The plan included CBT with Wendy who is very helpful in imparting important skills. The plan also included an assessment for autism. Dr Malhotra and Sanjay are both professional and kind in their approach and in conducting the lengthy assessments. We appreciate their help very much.

I saw Dr Saïk de La Motte de Broöns de Vauvert for an assessment. It was very comprehensive and considered many complicating factors. Overall very positive and following assessment I felt my concerns were well looked after and that the doctor offered to go to lengths to secure a prescription. The location is very clean and nicely decorated too.

I am so grateful for Dr Malhotra’s kindness and compassion, which is sadly not something I have often experienced in my mental healthcare. I really felt heard and respected. I am also impressed by her insight into my very complex, decades long mental illness. In just two long sessions she was able to offer me a new perspective on my condition and to make sense of many things. She provided me with comprehensive diagnostic assessment that will be so helpful going forward. I also now feel better equipped to make decisions about my future treatment.
Thanks also to Sanjay at Oxford Brain and Mind for dealing so efficiently and sensitively with the administrative side of things.

Absolutely fantastic experience! I recently had an ADHD assessment at this clinic, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The staff were friendly, professional, and really took the time to understand my concerns.
The assessment itself was thorough but felt relaxed – the clinician made sure I understood each step and answered all my questions. I never felt rushed, and they genuinely listened to everything I had to say, which was such a relief. By the end, I felt like I finally had some clarity and a clear plan for what to do next.
The whole process was smooth, and booking was a breeze too. If you’re considering an ADHD assessment or any kind of support, I highly recommend this clinic. They really know their stuff and made what could have been a stressful experience into a very positive one.

I highly recommend Dr Malhotra. She is warm and patient, creating a comfortable and supportive environment. She performed a thorough diagnosis that I have not been able to experience in the past. The clinic is welcoming, and communication for scheduling and follow-ups is always prompt and efficient. My experience has been very positive.
