Strategic Psychology

I paid for psychologist and I get to see a counsellor for the same amount of money I would have paid to see a psychologist and its even more embarrassing when you only find out that you were seeing a counsellor in the last 10 minuets of your second appointment.I hope I do get the refund.
I feel sick 🤒

Very difficult to actually book an appointment. I would call and it always went to voicemail. The voicemail told me to leave my name and number, saying that they would call me back, and I often did not receive a callback. For the first appointment I booked they cancelled it 2 days later. Then a managed to book another appointment with the same psychologist and that appointment was cancelled too. Two cancellations in a row is not good service, especially for someone who is in a very vulnerable state of mind at the moment.

After about 15 sessions of psychotherapy with some positive results and talk of future gains, my therapist decided to call it quits without a referral. I would not recommend Strategic to anyone with more complex trauma needs (i.e. childhood trauma, adult trauma, repetition compulsion etc.). I found the absence of correspondence outside session time disreputable. Also, no clinical diagnosis was given, however when I mentioned that an incident may have given me PTSD, I was informed that it sounded like it did.

I only wish I met Nesh Nikolic earlier in my life. I've always hesitated to see another psychologist as I've had ongoing difficulties for 6 years but since I started with Nesh, I've learn't how to be strong, or should I say flexible again. He's helped me in the hardest period of my life and I'm very grateful to have worked through my depression and anxiety properly this time.

Dr Dev Roychowdhury saved my life!

I have suffered from anxiety and depression all my life. I have seen few psychs in my time, but the 'help' only lasted few weeks. In the past few months, I have felt particularly low and blue. I even attempted suicide twice. I was taken to the hospital where I spent sometime. I have seen it all - doctors, shrinks, cat teams, interventions, lawyers, you name it. I had lost all hope. But then my GP, who I have known for 25 years, asked/forced me to go and see Dr Dev Roychowdhury at Strategic Psychology. He said he had heard good things about Dev.

I must admit I wasn't expecting much. I did not think one session with another shrink would make a difference. But the next hour or so changed my life. I do not know how Dev did his magic, but I felt remarkably better, almost immediately after the session. I found him unassuming, perceptive, intelligent, non-judgemental and empathic. In short, he was simply exceptional. He listened patiently to my rants and understood my pain. In the few sessions we had, he not only gave me strategies to survive but also the will to live.

I would put my money on Dev anyday. Go and see him. You will not be disappointed. God bless you Dev!

Nesh provides a very non-judgemental and friendly service.
He helped me overcome some huge challenges in my life and I would recommend him to anyone needing a friendly ear, some great encouragement, and advice about how to look at and approach situations differently.
