Dr. Franciske Evans

The meeting help and always progress matters that have arisen since the previous meeting.

Dr Evans is always very warm and welcoming. Her expertise has been extremely helpful in navigating the care for our child with ADHD.

Dr Evans is incredible at her job, she is an active listener and I felt so seen. I feel like my treatment plan has been so helpful and productive.

Dr Evans has been exceptionally supportive, knowledgeable, and professional in her care of my neurodivergent son. As a consultant myself, I was specifically looking for someone with a strong medical background and a high level of clinical credibility in this field, and I’m very pleased to have found her. She combines clear expertise with a thoughtful, patient-centred approach, taking the time to understand my son’s individual needs and tailoring her advice accordingly. Her communication is calm, thorough, and reassuring, which has made a significant difference to both my son and our wider family. I would highly recommend Dr Evans to any parent seeking an experienced, medically grounded professional who truly understands and supports neurodivergent children.

Overall very happy. Dr Evans has a calm, warm and reassuring manner which helped put my daughter at ease. At times, she divulged a bit to illustrate her point, which I followed, but I think Eliza found confusing and had to ask for clarification, especially as the sessions are tiring and her attention span is quite short. Generally, however, we feel in very good hands!

Fran is brilliant. She understands me so well, and I am so glad to have her support.

She is very professional, kind and knowledgeable. She was thorough in her assessment and explanation of the whole process of diagnosis and management.

We have been looked after by Fran and her wonderful team for 6 years . Her gentle, patient manner and excellent knowledge and explanation to both parents and child were second to none. We absolutely trust her opinion implicitly. I would not hesitate to recommend her and don’t know what we would have done without her in a very difficult time in our lives! Thank you Edinburgh Psychiatry!

Dr Evans handled a tricky family situation extremely well and ensured the session focussed on the patient. Very understanding and supportive as usual

I am writing this review because anyone considering reaching out should feel confident in doing so. Meeting you for my initial consultation was a genuine turning point. I sincerely believe my experience will reassure others who are considering taking this step. I came in utterly depleted—the high-functioning professional and family façade was collapsing under years of duty, leading to physical health issues and deep exhaustion. You did not just listen; you immediately provided profound validation, naming my struggle as the consequence of sustained systemic overload. This instantly offered crucial context for my entire life experience. You helped me see that the core of my problem is driven by a powerful sense of duty and empathy, which compelled me to take on every issue. You then provided a necessary intervention strategy by challenging the perception of safety in my long-term plans, asking the difficult question about the actual physical cost of continuing on my current path. Crucially, you framed the assessment as a "Golden Key"—a practical tool to protect my health and ring-fence my professional role. You introduced thoughts around an essential frameworks of logic and spirituality needed to begin the challenging process of "surrender "and beginning the journey to making changes for a better me professionally and a better and more meaningful family life I left the session feeling validated, deeply understood, and equipped with a clear, actionable plan to address both the internal compulsion and the external demands that were causing my breakdown. Thank you for your foc...
