I recently attended a video appointment for an adult ASD assessment with Dr Hollie Hearfield and I cannot recommend enough. She was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to whilst remaining professional. I was quite anxious going into the appointment as I didn’t really know what to expect however this anxiety was quickly eased. I felt completely heard, and nothing I said was dismissed. I was able to express any of my challenges and thoughts and I felt my voice was completely heard by Dr Hearfield. I would highly recommend Berkeley Psychiatrists to any interested party!

Dr Hollie Hearfield was very helpful and understanding during my adult ASD assessment, taking the time to listen to my responses and answering all my questions in detail. After the assessment she went through her diagnosis thoroughly ensuring I fully understood and provided me with detailed information on my next steps and treatments. I would recommend an assessment with Dr Hearfield to anyone.
