I came to Dr Sarkhel seeking help with anxiety and depression, and I honestly cannot thank him and his team enough for the incredible difference they have made to my life. Initially, I was prescribed medication that helped me get back on my feet remarkably quickly. After some time, to help maintain and build on these improvements, Dr Sarkhel recommended TMS therapy. I decided to complete the full course of 30 sessions, and the results have been truly life-changing! I feel absolutely amazing — full of energy, vitality, and enthusiasm for life. I genuinely feel as though I have got my life back, and I couldn’t be happier. Dr Sarkhel is an exceptional psychiatrist: warm, patient, compassionate, and incredibly empathetic. He truly listens and makes you feel understood, supported, and cared for throughout your journey. His entire team deserves equal praise. They are kind, professional, accommodating, and always flexible. You never feel like just another patient — you genuinely feel that your well-being comes first. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Sarkhel and his wonderful team to anyone struggling with their mental health. They have made such a positive difference in my life, and I will always be grateful for their care and support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Agnieszka

I have been with Living Mind for four years now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I receive. Dr Sarkhel is incredibly attentive, kind and knowledgeable about my illness. He is the first doctor I have had who has truly listened to me and helped me work towards and achieve my treatment goals. He is also always available for a phone call between appointments, which I find especially helpful as I experience frequent mood swings. I never feel judged, and he takes everything I say seriously, listening carefully to my concerns and experiences. I am extremely grateful for the support and care I have received from Dr Sarkhel over the years. I couldn’t be happier with how my appointments go or with the level of care I receive from Living Mind.

I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Sarkhel and the whole team at Living Mind for the kindness, care, and support they have shown me. From the very beginning, I have felt genuinely listened to, understood, and cared for, and I always felt that they were truly there for me. Dr. Sarkhel has made a profound difference to me through his expertise, compassion, and incredibly thoughtful approach. It is difficult to put into words just how much his support has helped me through a very difficult period in my life. I will always be deeply grateful to Dr. Sarkhel and his wonderful team for making me feel safe, supported, and never alone. I could not recommend them more highly.

Dr Sarkhel is kind, understanding and takes a sincere concern in your wellbeing, not only in the immediate treatment but for the future going forward, so you have necessary coping mechanisms and confidence. He is able to adjust tablets without you feeling overwhelmed by the whole situation. He asks the right questions without exhausting you and able to come to solutions without you realising and also to progress you which I find very helpful. As I answered in my previous question, it is clear he is ‘highly gifted’ snd loves humanity.

I was so pleased with my recent appointment with Dr Sarkhel. Not only did we discuss medication, but he also spent a lot of time with me looking at and discussing the psychological aspects of my condition, which gave me great insight into what I am struggling with and how best to tackle it with both medication and psychological work. He discussed it with me in great detail and in a way that I could understand which I am so grateful for. He made me feel listened to and it felt like a team approach to tackle my struggles together. I would highly recommend Dr Sarkhel and the team at Living Mind.

Dr Sarkhel has taken the time to understand my full picture and built a treatment plan that actually makes sense for me personally. I always feel genuinely listened to, never rushed and everything is explained clearly so I understand what we’re doing and why. I came into this feeling quite anxious about medication but my concerns have been handled with real patience and care.
