I had sent over some documentation before the appointment and Dr Holsgrove had taken the time to read it!! Very professional and explained everything really well. Thank you for your support and help.
My son has been under the care of Dr Samina Holsgrove for the past seven years, and the quality of care has been consistently excellent throughout that time. From the very beginning, I have felt a strong sense of trust in her clinical judgement and approach. She has taken the time to build a genuine therapeutic relationship with my son, which has been fundamental to the progress we have seen over the years. Her ability to communicate clearly and compassionately has always stood out. She demonstrates exceptional patience and kindness, always meeting my son where he is without judgement, and adapting her approach to suit changing needs over time. Her calm and respectful manner has made even the most difficult appointments feel safe and manageable. Her depth of knowledge and expertise is evident in every aspect of her work. She combines clinical skill with a thoughtful, person centred approach that shows real understanding of complex mental health needs. I have always felt that care decisions are made carefully, collaboratively, and with my son’s best interests at the centre. Overall, I am deeply greatful for the continuity, professionalism, and humanity she has shown over many years. Her support has made a meaningful and lasting difference to my son’s wellbeing.
Excellent experience which helped provide us with much needed clarity on the issues and the process to resolve
Excellent, professional and knowledgeable, really helped my son who was in need of support.
Dr Holsgrove always puts us at ease when we talk about things that are difficult and confusing. She gives us confidence that she has the knowledge and experience enough to help. We like that she has empathy and understanding and listens and understands our child’s point of view and experience without rushing them. We are very happy and this is why we returned her.
Dr Holsgrove listened to my daughter, supported her and advised our best course of action
