Dr Josephine Neale

Dr Neale is an excellent psychiatrist. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional as well as being approachable, caring and supportive. From the initial appointment to assessment, diagnosis and a treatment plan, she has been invaluable in helping our son with his mental health condition and balancing that help with his neurodiversity. She was very thorough in dealing with any concerns my son had. Even with his strong opinions and occasional negativity, she took him seriously and listened to his views, and answered any concerns in a calm and professional manner. She was excellent at reassuring him and putting his mind at ease. Dr Neale has a team of professionals that work alongside her and my son had sessions with a therapist as well as a nutritionist. This multidisciplinary approach is a huge bonus, especially as Dr Neale co-ordinates with them all. Dr Neale always responds promptly, which is essential when we had concerns or needed a prescription. When my son turned 18, Dr Neale gave recommendations for an adult psychiatrist and wrote a prompt referral which meant the transition to adult psychiatry went very smoothly. I highly recommend Dr Neale to any parent looking for a psychiatrist for their child.

Dr Neale, is kind caring and professional. She always puts us at ease.

Dr Neale has provided the most wonderful care of my daughter over the past 2 years. She has always taken the time to listen to us both, to ask questions, and to answer all of our questions, taking pains to ensure that we have always been comfortable with the treatment plan. She has been so reassuring through some challenging periods, and we are hugely grateful to her for her calm, measured, well-informed support.

After receiving very little help elsewhere, Dr Neale was the one who finally listened and took action. We had spent a long time feeling unheard and unsure where to turn, but she immediately took our concerns seriously and guided us with clarity and compassion. Her willingness to step in, provide answers, and offer genuine support made an enormous difference at a time when we felt completely stuck. She gave us the care and direction we had been desperately missing, and we are truly grateful for everything she did for us.

Very thorough , supportive and listened to us

Dr Neale is professional and knowledgeable and has a kind and gentle personality which is helpful for a child with anxiety. Whilst my child was not able to converse face to face he was increasingly able to speak and listen to Dr Neale as time passed, this speaks volumes to her patience and understanding of what each child's abilities and needs are.

Would definitely recommend Dr Neale. She was very personable and professional and communicated well with my son.

As a patient of Dr Neale for over a year I truly believe that she is amazing! I have struggled with my mental health for a few years and her treatment plans and support have been fantastic. I genuinely believe I wouldn’t be here today without her support so thank you very much!

Dr. Neale has been an absolutely essential element to navigating a difficult few years with my neurodivergent twin boys and all the challenges that come with it. Her kind, gentle, understanding manner instantly put my children at ease, letting them open up about feelings and emotions, giving her a better understanding of how to help them - and she really has - with suggestions of how to support our whole family, guiding us through the assessment process and helping to explain each diagnosis, understanding each child and their individual needs, appreciating when life is busy and accommodating our necessary adjustments in meetings....I can't recommend (and thank!) Dr. Neale enough and so appreciate her continued support.

Dr Neale has been very supportive, insightful and knowledgeable throughout our daughter’s assessment and treatment. She has a strong understanding of complex neurodevelopmental and mental health challenges and has consistently provided thoughtful, practical guidance. Her observations are perceptive and she quickly identifies important issues that others may miss. We have found her to be professional, compassionate and genuinely committed to helping our daughter make progress. We are very grateful for her support and would not hesitate to recommend her to other families seeking specialist help.
