What our clients say

"Working with Neesha has really shifted my mindset when it comes to weight management & my overall health. After years of yo-yo dieting, I’d found myself feeling completely defeated. Using food as reward and exercise as punishment and switching from restricting calories in the week to binging at the weekends was keeping me stuck at a weight I wasn’t happy with & struggling with low energy all the time. Neesha helped me challenge my beliefs that; to be successful at weight loss/management I had to have an all or nothing mentality. Instead I’ve adopted a more manageable approach; making small sustainable changes and remaining consistent with it. So far I’m seeing results, and am optimistic that these will be long lasting since my small changes are now over time becoming healthy habits. For me working with someone who focuses on the psychological issues around weight management has been really helpful. Implementing a new strategy after years of unhealthy & extreme habits was daunting but with Neesha’s support throughout it’s been made much easier. I’d recommend Neesha to anyone like me who’s emotionally eating, stuck in a rut and wants to take control."

"I knew I needed to make some changes to my health but didn't know where to start as it all seemed too much to even think about. I had an initial appointment with Neesha which helped to me better understand some of my issues with food, how I use food when I am stressed. I now know why my emotional eating has turned into a habit, and how this is contributing to my weight gain and impacting on me psychologically. I found the session to be very insightful in helping me to move forwards and start make changes to my lifestyle and begin to lose weight."

"I was out of a routine, struggling to find time for myself, dealing with peri menopausal symptoms, juggling family life, a full-time job and studying for a promotion to keep up with cost of living!  I was really struggling with my weight, anxiety and hormones and was finding it hard to maintain any weight loss. I became friends with Dr Patel through our school children, through social circles, general chats, and meeting for walks. Last summer, I attended one of her workshops on lifestyle behaviour change, nutrition and mindfulness which really inspired me to focus on myself as well as, looking at things in a more relaxed way. I took on board her advice not to restrict myself from pleasures or pressure myself or beat myself up if things did not go to plan on a particular day or week or expect miracles to happen in a week!  I decided to start taking things one day at a time, set myself a realistic goal (summer body and a positive mindset) and overtime I found myself becoming motivated to make lifestyle changes. Since the start of 2023, and 5 months on, I’m a stone lighter, managing my hormones in a holistic way with good nutrition, regular exercise and a little bit of what I fancy in moderation!   What made Evoking Health Limited and Dr Neesha Patel stand unique from other weight loss services that I have tried is that she gave me open and honest, assertive advice with a more personal touch – tailored to my needs without any judgement, and without the latest fad of treatments to boost pharmaceuticals profits! I feel that I have really received amazing information and knowledge that was easy to understand and has helped me to connect my mind and body, focus on my wellbeing activities and improved my health and mindset around weight loss for the better.

Thank you so much!"

Before I received assistance from Evoking Health Ltd, I felt unheard and that I didn’t matter. I felt deflated and frustrated.

I am trying to get my gastric surgery sorted to eventually enable me to get my knees replaced so I can get my life back.  I needed a psychological assessment to be completed to prove I am psychologically safe to have the surgery.

Neesha’s online profile seemed warming and there was a real element of compassion and care (which I can completely confirm is the case).  The website was clear and easy to navigate.  The response from my initial enquire was prompt, friendly and professional.  There was no pressure to book, it just all felt very easy.  I am very grateful for the assistance provided and would revert should further assistance be required in the future.

 Prior to our session, I was very worried about a particular patient and the service being provided with no support. I also felt I was lacking confidence following a period of leave from work.  Neesha responded very quickly via email and was helpful in organising our session, as well as asking for an outline of topics for supervision. I felt like Neesha was very well prepared for our session.

I wanted to discuss a patient case involving suicidal ideation V suicidal intention, my confidence in returning to clinical work after maternity leave and I wanted advice regarding current working practices and future plans.

 I have known Neesha for approximately 10 years. I know she has a lot of experience working both as a psychologist and a supervisor. I also wished to speak with someone I trusted and believed I could rely on Neesha to be both professional and personable.

 Neesha listened compassionately and provided advice in line with our training (i.e. using behaviour change techniques and skills) which was helpful in me developing my confidence in my autonomy. Also the speed at which Neesha responded to my requests, as well as providing resources following our supervision definitely make Neesha’s service stand out!
