Excellent experience with Dr Cappai. Very knowledgeable and compassionate. Higly recommend!!!
I came to the appointment feeling quite overwhelmed and unsure what could actually be done. Dr Cappai was calm, thoughtful and very easy to talk to. She explained things in a way that made sense and gave me practical strategies rather than just telling me what was wrong. I left feeling lighter and, for the first time in a while, hopeful.
My 19-year-old son was diagnosed by Dr Cappai. She was very kind but also knowledgeable and firm, and I think that her suggestion to make some lifestyle changes could really work well for my son. I was happy to see that Dr Cappai’s approach is not only “prescribing medications", but she seems to really care to personalise treatment based on the specific difficulties the patient is experiencing.
Very caring and professional clinic. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind review.
I cannot recommend Dr Cappai highly enough. She listened carefully and picked up on things I had not really connected before. I never felt like she was simply going through a list of questions. There was a real sense that she was thinking about me as an individual and trying to work out what would genuinely help. By the end of the appointment I had a clearer plan and felt considerably more optimistic.
Thank you for your kind review and we are pleased that we were able to help you.
Dr Cappai is an exceptional psychiatrist. What stood out for me was how thoughtful she was in trying to understand the whole picture rather than simply focusing on a diagnosis. She took time to explore what I had been struggling with, but also what was working well in my life and what could realistically be changed. I left with a much clearer understanding of myself, several practical strategies to try and, importantly, a sense of hope that things could improve.
Thank you for your lovely review.
A really positive experience. I felt listened to rather than judged, and for the first time in a long time I came away feeling that there were practical things I could actually do to improve my situation.
Thank you for your review and we are very happy we were able to help you.
One of the things I valued most about my ADHD assessment was how carefully Dr Cappai listened. Throughout the appointment I felt heard, respected, and understood. I never felt rushed or judged, even when discussing personal challenges and experiences that I had not spoken about before. She asked thoughtful questions and gave me enough time to explain my difficulties in my own words. For the first time, I felt that someone genuinely understood the impact that attention difficulties had on my daily life, relationships, and work. The assessment was conducted in a supportive and compassionate manner, which helped me feel comfortable throughout the process. I came away with a much clearer understanding of myself and felt validated in a way I had not experienced before.
Thank you for your kind review and we are very happy that we could help you.
Dr Cappai was wonderful. Thoughtful, kind, and incredibly thorough. I left feeling understood and much more hopeful about the future.
Thank you so much for your lovely review.
All good so far!
Thank you for your positive review. We are glad you are happy with the service received so far.

🗣️ Speak It Out, Set Yourself Free 💫💙 Bottling everything inside only makes it heavier. Your thoughts, your feelings, your truth, they deserve to be heard. Speaking isn’t weakness, it’s courage. It’s choosing honesty over silence and healing over hiding. Say what you feel. Even if your voice shakes. Even if it’s not perfect. Because the moment you let it out, you take your power back. 💙 ✨ Don’t hold it in. Speak your truth and breathe a little easier.❤️🫂 #SpeakUp #letitout #emotionalwellness #innerstrength #monday

“Men don’t talk”, and it’s costing lives! Dr Alex Cappai, founder of Diverse Minds Clinic, shares an important perspective on why men are less likely to seek support and often present at a crisis point. Lower referral rates, delayed help-seeking, and increased risk of suicide highlight a serious and ongoing concern. Creating space for open conversation is essential. Strength lies in recognising when support is needed and taking action. www.diversemindsclinic.co.uk #MensMentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #DiverseMinds #SpeakUp #endthestigma

For many, the winter months bring a sense of melancholy or fatigue. But for adults with ADHD and autism, the challenges associated with the colder season can be even more pronounced.

Seen but never understood 🧠✨ Many adults have spent years adapting, masking, and questioning why life feels just a little harder than it should. Autism doesn’t always look the way people expect, especially in those who were never diagnosed. From sensory sensitivities to social fatigue, the signs can be subtle yet deeply impact. Understanding the “silent spectrum” means recognising these hidden experiences, validating them, and creating space for late discovery, self-acceptance, and support. Because it’s never too late to understand yourself better 💙 Read more and start your journey of awareness today 🌿 #AutismAwareness #Neurodiversity #MentalHealthMatters #AdultAutism #SelfDiscovery #diversemindsclinic #HiddenStruggles #Awareness
