Dr Sarkhel was outstanding in the way he supported and guided my wife while she was suffering from severe anxieties and depression. He was friendly but thoroughly professional and open about the usefulness of medication and the actions that she needed to take to get better. He also went that extra mile when I needed advice outside the planned sessions and was very timely in producing reports for us and teh GP. He would recommend him very highly to others.

Dr. Sarkhel’s approach is very friendly, customized and non-rigid. He encouraged me to speak honestly about my struggles and listened with no judgments. I felt I could trust him, and it was easy to open up. Throughout the assessment he was thorough and supportive. At the end, he clearly explained his medical opinion, left ample room for questions and concerns. Overall I came out of my session with him very hopeful and optimistic, things I hadn’t felt in a long while. Importantly, he was very ethical! He educated me about cost effective ways to continue my treatment in the long run. All in all, I very highly recommend Dr. Sarkhel.

You can truly trust Dr Sarkhel. The nature of psychiatric appointments mean you may have to discuss difficult personal topics, during the course of discussing such items I have found Dr Sarkhel to be nothing but empathetic, respectful and incredibly supportive. We have tried something different and working with tricyclic antidepressants, which is something my previous psychiatrist or GP did not explore with me. However Dr Sarkhel always makes it clear the medication is part of the solution but the bigger part is therapy and self help and will also guide you on themes to explore with your therapist. I found his wholesome approach to be incredibly refreshing. On the occasions I have seen Doctor Sarkhel he is always on time and often early when I have arrived early, I really value this, Although he in no way rushes you and is very thorough. If I need to contact Dr Sarkhel, I am able to phone him directly and he usually responds immediately. Not having to go through receptionists and switch boards is very helpful. It is also a contrast to my prior private psychiatrist that wouldn’t respond for days. My final takeaway is that Dr Sarkhel makes you feel listened to and heard and genuinely wants to help you.

Explanation

This review is to hopefully help like-minded people who are suffering from mental health. For a year and a half, I was in denial of my anxiety and panic disorder until I reached an all-time low. Dr Sarkhel (psychiatrist) diagnosed me with GAD and moderate depression and advised Venlafaxine 35mg for one week, increasing to 75mg thereafter, as well as regular psychologist appointments. Like many, I had put off taking medication for so long, but let me say this... don't expect miracles as you don't wake up on day 1 feeling better. If anything, the first few weeks are extremely difficult, but when you compare week by week, you will notice the lows not as low and for less time, and the highs getting higher as well as longer. During the early stages I often sought reassurance from Dr Sarkhel badgering him outside of appointments via text and phone calls. He was always available and there to provide support and advice which seems to be rare in this field. You really get the sense he cares about his patients and is there with you every step of the way throughout the difficult journey. What was also really helpful was he works in tangent with a psychologist and therefore if your lucky enough to see Jenny this really helps target the anxiety from all angles. I am on week 12 and have gone from being signed off work, unable to exercise, and in fear of going out due to constant catastrophizing, to quite the opposite. Once you're able to admit defeat, have a good psychiatrist, and good people around you, you will be on the right path. I am ever so grateful for Dr Sarkhel and his team and will forever be indebted for giving me back my life.

Dr Sarkhel is very friendly and explains things in great detail but also in a relatable manner. I cannot thank him enough for giving me my diagnosis and prescription, without it I would have entirely lost my passion for work and potentially got a disciplinary.

Explanation

I've been struggling with my mental health for some time. After reaching out to BUPA mental health line they did an assessment and suggested that I saw a psychiatrist. Little did I know that this was just the beginning of my new journey. Dr. Sarkhel has helped destigmatise the way I felt about my mental health challenges by normalising it as any other health condition. His approach combined health checks, referral to ACT therapy (which would be the best one for my two conditions) and medication. It's a long but steady process of self discovery and understanding of oneself. After following his care plan and follow ups I can finally say that I'm in a better place and have learned resilient coping mechanisms to handle my mental health conditions. I feel like I got my light back and now I'm working (still under Dr. Sarkhel's guidance) to maintain my progress. I'm very grateful to have found such a caring doctor with a tailored approach. I felt supported in all steps in a very safe environment.

Dr Sarkhel has massively changed my life for the better. He has helped me to understand my diagnosis of bipolar disorder and has given me the support I need to keep moving forward. He is very compassionate, empathetic and friendly and I feel I can talk to him easily about my problems without any judgement. He is extremely knowledgeable and will always talk me through the treatment plan in a way so I can understand it. I have also read his book - Resilience Unleashed which is very enlightening and informative and I would recommend it to anyone who has suffered trauma or wants to build their resilience. It has been a great tool for me on my journey. When I needed urgent appointments for a mental health crisis it was so easy to get in touch and I was seen so quickly. I would highly recommend Dr Sarkhel at Living Mind and I feel safe in the knowledge I can trust and rely on them as a patient.
