As always Dr Eapen was warm and attentive during my recent visit. She listens to me actively and asks prodding questions, I'm always astonished how much she remembers from my previous visits. I feel supported.
I have been under Dr Eapen’s care for over 15 years, during which time we have developed a strong, trusting relationship. She has consistently provided expert care, support and guidance helping me maintain my mental health and overall wellbeing. I see Dr Eapen every six months and my wife accompanies me to these appointments. Dr Eapen takes a genuine interest in me and my family. I am continually impressed by her ability to recall many details about my personal circumstances without needing to refer to her previous notes, which demonstrates her attentiveness and commitment to providing personalised care. I always leave our appointments feeling heard, supported and confident about the outcome of our discussion. Most importantly I’ve maintained a stability in my mental health which means I’m able to enjoy my life and family
Dr Eapen is simply the best, she has made a big impact in my life and I feel so lucky to be a patient
I have been working with dr EAPEN for almost a decade. Every appointment during that period I have felt seen, understood and supported through some of the worst moments of my life. She has helped me understand my condition and rebuild a stable foundation to succeed in life. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone who needs mental health support.

Dr Eapen was kind and considerate. She helped me when I was really ill.
Dr Elza Eapen is a wonderful psychiatrist. I consider myself extremely lucky to be under her care. She goes above and beyond when caring for her patients and I owe my recovery from OCD to her!
Experience was excellent. Dr Eapen provides a calm safe space where one can be completely open and is encouraged to explore feelings. Dr Eapen is always well prepared so that her questions to you when and if they come are relevant and never offputting . Although at times the meetings are hard, progress is made and undersood.
My regular review with Dr Eapen- these appointments are so important for my mental Health and well being- Elza takes time to really hear what’s going on for me and is clearly invested in ensuring my wellbeing is maintained. It’s always a privilege to meet up with her and I have confidence knowing she is there going forward. Her approach is very professional but always open, approachable and kind. Her support team are exemplary regarding appointments repeat prescriptions and managing contact. I couldn’t do without her.
Dr Eapen is an excellent Psychiatrist. She is reputable, trustworthy and provides exemplary standards of care to her patients. I highly recommend her.
