I cannot compliment the Living Mind team more highly. The difference that rTMS has made, even after just two weeks of treatment is incredible. My mood has improved dramatically, and I'm able to function and live my life again. Coupled with the support of Dr Sarkhel and the treatment plan he designed for me centered around rTMS (including the right talking therapy and medication) I'm able to work again, socialise again and leave the house - all of which I'd been really struggling with. I was relieved to find that rTMS is completely painless, and once you're used to it, actually quite soothing. I've struggled with my mental health for most of my life. Now I feel like I'm actually healing and it will be the lasting change I needed.

I am truly grateful to have found Dr. Sarkhel during one of the darkest periods of my life. After experiencing a deeply traumatic event, I felt overwhelmed, lost, and unsure if healing was even possible. From the very first session, he created a space that felt safe, supportive, and free of judgment. Dr. Sarkhel’s empathy, patience, and deep understanding of trauma helped me begin to process what I had been through. He never rushed the process but instead walked with me at my own pace, offering insight, clarity, and the tools I needed to rebuild my emotional strength. It’s because of his support and guidance that I now feel more grounded, hopeful, and resilient. I cannot thank Dr. Sarkhel enough for the positive impact he had on my life. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a compassionate and highly skilled mental health professional.

I cried happy tears for the first time in a long time after my appointment today with Dr Sarkhel. I have struggled with my mental health for over 20 years and now finally I have a diagnosis, a treatment plan and most importantly; hope. Dr Sarkhel listened and engaged in a wonderful manner and I was put at ease instantly. He explained things in a very clear way, breaking things down in layman's terms so everything was understandable and manageable. I'm very grateful for his kindness, care and huge wealth of knowledge.
