I saw Dr Resek who was covering for Dr Eapen. He was brilliant. He helped me to have a timely admission which I’m so grateful for. I then saw him daily and he was always extremely kind and helpful. Please do pass on my gratitude to him.

Dr Eapen has treated me for a number of years - and she has been instrumental in helping me overcome my lifelong OCD issues. As a result of her wonderful care and intelligence, I've had huge improvement which has lasted. I've grown to trust her opinions and instincts enormously. She cares a lot about her patients. I'm always recommending her to people.

Dr Eapen is an outstanding clinician, due to her commitment and care she shows to her patients and consistently going above and beyond. For example, I had several visits from her after 9pm. Dr Eapen also worked to tweak my drugs and I know feel we have the right mix.

I've been a patient of Dr Eapen for over 7 years. I honestly couldn't be happier. There is no doubt in mind she is one of the best psychiatrists in the UK. I have had interactions with over 20 health professionals in regards to mental health and Dr Eapen is by far the most competent. She is an excellent listener and her memory is remarkable, she really takes the time to understand all aspects of your life and doesn't haven narrow tunnel vision on a specific issue. She is very responsive to email and I really like that I can check in between sessions if I have any queries. She has pragmatic and compassionate approach and I would go as far to say she has made a very meaningful contribution to my wellbeing and given me the confidence to pursue new and difficult life choices.
