EXCELLENT Based on 12 reviews Posted on Hamid BalakhdouchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Cappai was a pleasant and considerate person. I was able to save money by using Diverse Minds Clinic's integrated ASD and ADHD testing instead of paying for individual evaluations. Overall, I am quite pleased with the service, and as specialists in autism and ADHD, I would unquestionably suggest Diverse Minds Clinic.Posted on Dija BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Diverse Minds Clinic provided me with an excellent experience. Dr. Cappai, the consultant, has extensive experience and has diagnosed me with ASD and ADHD. It was a challenging and time-consuming assessment, but Dr. Cappai and the team at Diverse Minds Clinic were quite helpful in completing out the documents. I would highly suggest. The location is very nice.Posted on Valentina PippiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Before making a reservation with Diverse Minds Clinic, I did some research and was reassured by the clinic's CQC registration (unlike some other well-known services in London) and the fact that Dr. Cappai is an ADHD specialist employed by the NHS. I had a three-hour ADHD and ASD evaluation, which took place in a very fine facility on Harley Street in central London. Dr Cappai made sure I was comfortable and gave me breaks. The report was extremely comprehensive, and the appointment began on schedule. I'm pleased with the service. I heartily endorse it.Posted on A CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful experience at Diverse Minds Clinic. Dr. Cappai was really thorough and diagnosed me with ADHD and ASD. She offered plenty of encouragement and advice for the next steps. The administrative crew was also really helpful, and Dr. Cappai's office on Harley Street was very exquisite. I suggest this doctor.Posted on Diana RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. PTSD diagnosis and treatment I had a very positive experience at Diverse Minds Clinic today. I decided to have a comprehensive psychiatric assessment for childhood trauma, which was a difficult step for me. Dr Cappai has extensive experience in trauma in women, and I was impressed reading her profile. She also worked with women from disadvantaged backgrounds and prisoners. I was diagnosed with cPTSD, and I suffered from recurrent depression all my life. Dr Cappai made me feel finally heard, after years of struggles and I am very grateful to her for this. I am now on my pathway to recovery, and I would recommend Dr Cappai to anyone who has struggled to find a doctor who really listens.Posted on JonathanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Combined ASD and ADHD assessment I was impressed by the quality of care offered at Diverse Minds Clinic. I had a combined ASD and ADHD assessment, and Dr Cappai helped me understand where my difficulties stem from and provided support and possible solutions. I will continue working with Dr Cappai and have just started my ADHD medications titration. On a separate note, the administrative team were very friendly and helpful on the phone, which helped me relax, and Dr Cappai's office and the building in Harley Street were very pretty.Posted on John WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. At 49, I finally received a diagnosis of ASD and ADHD—a moment that brought both relief and a new sense of understanding. The professionalism of everyone at Diverse Minds Clinic truly stood out. From my very first call, the staff answered every question with patience and kindness, never once making me feel like a burden. Throughout the evaluation, Dr. Cappai made sure I was comfortable by being kind and encouraging, even setting up breaks if I needed them. The consultation room itself was spacious, well-equipped, and neither scary nor unduly clinical. The assessment's thoroughness was what most impressed me. The consultant psychiatrist who performed the evaluation, Dr Cappai, was obviously an expert in her area and fostered an atmosphere that allowed me to be myself. The report that followed was incredibly detailed; they listened, they didn't rush, and it provided me with the clarity I've been looking for my entire adult life. I was confident in the diagnosis since I had a consultant psychiatrist who specialised in neurodevelopmental disorders. I heartily suggest it.Posted on T WTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
