Dr Arghya Sarkhel is professional when he sees his patients. He gives clear advice and good care to all who see him. He will change a drug dose if it helps. Key areas of care are depression and anxiety disorder.
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.
Extremely informative about the care being offered and has always been there when I have needed help outside of my appointments. I would highly recommend this practice and my practitioner in particular.

Thank you so much for your very kind feedback and recommendation. I am particularly pleased to hear that you have felt well informed about your care and supported when you have needed help. Knowing that you have felt able to reach out when needed means a great deal to me. Thank you again for your trust and for taking the time to share your experience. Best wishes Dr Sarkhel
Very insightful and provided great actionable advice

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. I am really pleased to hear that you found our conversation insightful and, importantly, that the advice felt practical and helpful to you. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share this, and I wish you all the very best going forward. Best wishes Dr Sarkhel
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.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share such thoughtful and generous feedback. I am truly grateful for your kind words.

Thank you again for your trust and for sharing your experience. I wish you continued strength and wellbeing for the future. Best wishes Dr Sarkhel
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.

Thank you for your kind review and for taking the time to share your experience. I am very grateful for your feedback and pleased that you found our discussions helpful. I believe that understanding the psychological aspects of our difficulties is just as important as discussing medication, and I am glad that our conversations helped provide some insight and clarity. It was a privilege to work with you, and I appreciate the collaborative approach we were able to take together. Thank you for your trust and engagement throughout the process. I wish you all the very best in your ongoing recovery and wellbeing journey, and thank you once again for your recommendation. Dr Arghya Sarkhel Consultant Psychiatrist

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.
