I can recommend highly Dr Gerald Woolfson. Due to experienced trauma I have suffered for many years panic attacks, anxiety and flashbacks. Have tried many therapists, medication. In my last episode of despair I have decided to reach to only the best psychiatrist , since I had therapy and medication with Dr G Woolfson I have felt understood, at ease, more relaxed and confident. I am so grateful there are such amazing experienced specialists like Dr G Woolfson. If I ever would need his help again in future I would only go back for treatment to Dr G Woolfson. Thank you.

Dr Woolfson is a very experienced doctor who demonstrated nothing but professionalism during my time in his care. I decided to see Dr Woolfson due to his level of education and experience. For the first time in a very long time my head feels clear and I feel hopeful about my future; Dr Woolfson has dramatically improved my quality of life. More...

I have been under Dr Woolfsons care for 5 weeks now. I have been struggling with my mental health since my teens and have never had a proper diagnosis nor the current medication even after spending many months in the Priory hospitals and NHS psychiatric hospitals. We were recommended Dr Woolfson my a family friend. He was able to fit us in very quickly for a consultation. After an hour he had given me the diagnosis of Bipolar and changed my medication. I am now much more stable, I’m able to enjoy my very hectic life with my 3 children and will be forever grateful to Dr Woolfson for taking the time to listen and diagnose me correctly. I will continue to see Dr Woolfson for the foreseeable future. He has also helped a friend of mine. He is kind, and thorough just what you need I’m the mental health profession. More...

I have struggled with mentally Ill health and heroin and cocaine addiction for over fifteen years. I struggled to find any service that could scratch the surface in terms of treating my addiction which I developed following a serious bereavement. I tried the 12 steps and although I am in full support of people who enjoy the 12 step recovery model, I tried it and worked the steps and just kept on relapsing.Gerald, as he prefers to be called immediately talked sense into me and I went off to the most beautiful rehab clinic for both psychological issues and addiction specialisation on his advise.My family and I are very happy now.I am in early recovery and studying drama therapy and I will also be starting a course in Gestalt therapy training when ready.Gerald is a lovely man, very kind in nature and very professional.One of the first things he did was give me a correct diagnosis and course of treatment as I was misdiagnosed and put on completely the wrong prescription medications by other services.I feel very relaxed around Gerald and he is a joy to work with.I highly recommend his service.

It’s been a year and half since I had my current episode of severe depression and generalised anxiety - I have had depression before when I was a child and in my teens and in my twenties and thirties (I am 43 years old now) but it was no where near as severe as this time . During the past year and a half, I had seen 8 psychiatrists and I had tried every available treatment, antidepressants, benzodiazepines, Cognitive behavioural therapy, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, meditation, yoga and even a Tony Robbins seminar but nothing had helped and I felt like I had exhausted all treatment options and gave up hope until I met Dr Woolfson 2 weeks ago through strong recommendations from other doctors and Dr Woolfson has literally saved my life. He immediately put me on the right medications to manage my symptoms and also suggested ECT (electro convulsive therapy) which no doctor had mentioned to me before. A lot of my depression stems from my parent’s divorce and I yearned my dad’s attention but felt abandoned. Dr Woolfson even had a call with my father who doesn’t live in the UK and the next day I had a really honest talk with my father and there was closure. I have had 2 sessions of ECT and the combination of the medication, closure with my father and ECT cured me completely within 2 weeks of starting all these treatments with Dr Woolfson. I went from suicidal to completely recovered within 2 weeks which must be a record of some kind. I would like to pay it forward which is why I have put in this review to help others. I am happy to help if anyone has any questions More...

Dr Woolfson is highly renowned and for good reason. Our time together has been hugely beneficial and I can highly recommend using the services of a professional such as this when it comes to dealing with delicate mental health matters.

Not really sure how anyone could leave a bad review for Dr Woolfson based on medications. What I have found is that antidepressants and other drugs are a case of finding the right fit, but you cannot question Dr Woolfson's credentials and knowledge - which is what you are paying for! Anyone who expects to have deep rooted issues solved in a single sitting is simply going to continue their frustrations unfortunately.All I can say is that Dr Woolfson had a way that made me explore inner thought processes and views on certain barriers in my life, that now I have addressed, have made a huge and positive difference in my life. Thank you More...

My husband and I visited with Dr Woolfson both individually and together following somewhat life-changing events that would have otherwise been very difficult to overcome for most. From our first meeting we both felt that we were in good hands and that there was genuine empathy and understanding, as well as a great deal of security in being guided by somebody of immense experience - which is exactly what we needed. I would and have promoted Dr Woolfson's services to anybody who is serious about their mental state for whatever reason they may need help More...

I first visited Doctor Woolfson around 5 years ago. I had experienced many anxiety / depression / anger & was not in a good place. This lead me to drink heavily. Dr Woolfson prescribed me medication which relieved me of my symptoms immediately, and we began the process of working together to eradicate my issues on a long term basis. he was straight, and didn't take any cr*p / b*llshit which I thoroughly needed.Overall, Dr W has maintained my recovery for a number of years now which I can not thank him for enough. 10 out of 10, and my whole family (who have met Dr Woolfson) agree.Thank you very much Dr. More...

Earlier this year when I was struggling badly, I was lucky enough to meet DR Gerald Woolfson. I needed admitting to a care facility, after discharging myself from North London Priory 10 minutes after checking in . . .At that point, I decided the only choice I had to was to find a psychiatrist on the internet and go from there. This was easier said that done but my number one choice from available reviews was Dr Woolfson and I got an appointment with him a couple of days later.At our first meeting, Dr Woolfson, in his own way, thoroughly investigated my history and what the problems could be. It turned out to be amazing, how accurate his diagnosis was, from a brief initial meeting. On his recommendation I was admitted to the Cortijo Care Clinic in Marbella, which I cannot recommend highly enough. While I was there he kept in touch with the staff about how I was doing.Yes, Dr Woolfson’s services are not cheap but he is highly skilled and that comes at a price More...

Dr Gerald Woolfson has had such a profoundly positive impact on my quality of life. I visited him during what I felt was an uncharacteristically ‘low’ period, where the decisions I found myself making didn’t align to either my values, or to common sense. Within the first hour of meeting me, Dr Woolfson was able to make a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and prescribe a mild medication that has given me the enjoyment of life that others have frequently talked about! I work in a fast-paced, professional environment and despite having what others deem as financial success, I have never felt content. My mind has always raced at over 100mph and I’ve lacked being able to make close, meaningful relationships with others. I just felt that I was overly driven as I felt passionate about what I did for work, and hardened to others due to the cold-nosed nature of certain business deals… I was wrong! Within the first few weeks of treatment I found that my mind stopped racing, my mood raised to what I’d class as only slightly above what others would deem as normal, yet my creativity and passionate-drive were not negatively impacted at all. In fact, I’d go as far to say that I actually feel as though my mind is working far better than ever before, because I am able to achieve a greater level of focus then I would ever have previously been able to. I have also begun to enjoy the process of what I do more, instead of only feeling satisfied with the end-result. My personal relationships with my family, and my partner, have never felt so sincere and rewarding – so much so that even family members and acquaintances who were not aware of my treatment have commented on the remarkable improvements of the warmer elements of my personality.Dr Woolfson did not just simply make a diagnosis though, he has helped guide me through this period of change. I see him regularly and due to his sense of humour, combined with his non-judgemental attitude, it has actually become a meeting that I look forwards to! The vast knowledge he imparts during each visit helps me understand both myself better, and others I spend time with. He truly becomes part of his patient’s life – even giving them (and I) his personal mobile number which he takes calls at any time, if the need arises. This level of care is rare, yet he seems to provide it effortlessly. I urge you, that if you’re reading this review as you suspect that something does not quite feel right inside, or you want a second opinion on what another Doctor may have diagnosed you with, then please contact Dr Woolfson. He will certainly help you and improve the quality of your life. More...

Dr Woolfson is an excellent psychiatrist. We have seen him for the last six years and could not recommend him more highly. He has been invaluable when there has been a crisis. Anyone who has experienced a mental heath crisis will know how important and rare it is to find a doctor who goes above and beyond when things are very difficult. Thank you. More...
