What My Patients Think Of Me As A Psychologist

These is just a very small sample of reviews from patients I've treated just during the past year. Testimonials received from former patients include not only opinions about therapy for breakups but also for a wide range of psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, worry, panic attacks, etc.


Their names cannot be disclosed because as a Psychologist, it would be unethical. I am bound by confidentiality.

Sylvia was very highly skilled and knowledgeable, I was made to think outside the box and found myself disproving all the maladaptive thoughts I had before. The best decision I’ve made was going to see Sylvia.

PATIENT 5

Wish I had of found Sylvia many many years ago. I do believe this therapy has brought me to the beginning of self acceptance and integration of self, which for me feels liberating and life changing. A realistic practical approach.

PATIENT 6

I was very self conscious about attending councelling but i had reached a point where i just needed to talk to someone about my problems, i wish i had known about Silvia sooner.

PATIENT 7

Sylvia was incredibly skilled. Having suffered childhood trauma, I struggled for many years letting go. This is the first time in any form of counselling that I have not been re traumatised by what happened. Must be said in a few sessions I felt an immediate impact.

PATIENT 8

Sylvia's warmth and knowledge set her apart her from other therapists I've known. She's razor sharp on problems - super focused and supportive with solutions. A wonderful person and practitioner, I can't recommend her highly enough.

She offers a structured programme that not only addresses the overall barriers and concerns you have, but gives you meaningful work and exercises that address those issues directly offering you practical techniques and mechanisms to help you in the future.

PATIENT 19

My sessions proved to be life changing. She instantly put me at ease at a time when my thoughts scared me. She provided me with the knowledge needed to understand what was going on and the tools I needed to manage and live. Sylvia is experienced, professional and I believe she genuinely cares for her patients. Highly recommended!


PATIENT 20

Because of previous traumatic experiences in therapy I was reluctant to try CBT with Sylvia when a friend recommended it. But I wish I'd seen Sylvia right away - she transformed my life not once, but twice over and I do not like to imagine where I'd be if I hadn't worked with her.


PATIENT 21

I am in my 40s and I have had several therapists over the last 20 years, both on the NHS and privately. Sylvia Buet is by far the best therapist I have ever had. Her knowledge of all varieties of pure OCD, and a whole range of other disorders such as anxiety and depression, and of the relevant CBT treatment techniques is phenomenal. She is also incredibly thoughtful, creative, patient and dedicated. She knows when to push me to do things but also when I need to be handled more gently.

PATIENT 22

It is no exaggeration to say Sylvia's sessions have been life changing, perhaps even life-saving, for me. She has helped me dig my way out of several severe OCD crises, as well as develop the resilience and skills I need to cope with my condition and prevent relapse.

I would happily recommend Sylvia to anyone with similar problems to mine (OCD/anxiety/depression). Indeed, I have done already.

PATIENT 23

I worked with Sylvia and I feel like her style suited me well. She does a great job of leading me to conclusions that I need to make without every giving me the answer, meaning that they tend to actually stick.

She is also what I'd call a straight shooter - I don't feel like she ever sugar coated things for me, but was straight with me about her thoughts and conclusions.

PATIENT 24

The results of my treatment have been tremendous. I am able to manage my thoughts and worries easily and effectively meaning my head is as calm and clear as it ever has been. Sylvia was able to diagnose quickly and to give simple strategies to understand and change my behaviour. I couldn't recommend Sylvia highly enough.

PATIENT 25

Sylvia is extremely skilled and knowledgeable in approaches to dealing with anxiety and is able to quickly get a handle on issues in order to address them effectively. She is also a very caring person who aims to help you achieve your potential.

PATIENT 26

I would have no hesitation to recommend Sylvia as a therapist. I attended both face to face and online appointments but felt equally comfortable with both despite initial apprehension. She has help me use CBT and other techniques to improve my outlook on life considerably.

PATIENT 27

Since having therapy with Sylvia, I am now a much happier and healthier person than I was before. It really has changed my life. She is supportive and encouraging but works at the pace that you require to become stronger.

PATIENT 28

Sylvia is very perceptive and puts you at ease from the beginning. I never attended therapy before as i felt uncomfortable at the thought of discussing problems.

PATIENT 29

Sylvia is amazing, any issues you have are dealt with by a highly skilled psychologist, who will help you work through any problems in your own time and ultimately help you become a better person with more rational attitudes towards everything.

PATIENT 30

She's extremely well educated and respected in her field, and I would recommend her to anyone who felt that could use help navigating mental issues. Working with her has made my life infinitely better!

PATIENT 31

I felt very comfortable with Sylvia right away. I felt I was in skilled hands. At the same time, it was truly intriguing and enjoyable!

PATIENT 32

Beyond expectations. Sylvia is extremely skilled and very insightful. Highly recommended.
