Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist

We have been seeing Dr Hvidsten for our 9 year old son who has ADHD and ASD. What she has done for him is amazing and changed our lives so much for the better. She listens and understands, offering great strategies for us all to cope and manage his difficulties. Since seeing her our son as progressed hugely at school, more than we ever expected. He has gone from being a very insecure and anxious young boy to being far more content and happy with life. I would highly recommend Dr Hvidsten.

We are very satisfied with the outcome of our visits and subsequent treatment for our daughter. Dr Hvidsten's approach and manner made it a relaxed and effective experience which led to a speedy improvement.

We met with Dr Hvidsten following a recommendation from another parent. Her manner is exceptional, both kind, caring and engaging, whilst also employing a well judged pragmatic approach. She has been extremely proactive and has significantly improved the quality of life for both my son (ASD & ADHD) and I. She has taken the time to help me to feel more informed by weighing up the options available and then gently managing my expectations as to what we might expect with and without intervention. In my experience she is always happy to listen and offer guidance and I believe has a genuine desire to facilitate a positive outcome for all.

Dr Sasha Hvidsten not only helped my daughter but our entire family. She listened to the concerns my daughter had from our first visit and instantly made our daughter feel at ease whilst not making false promises of a quick fix. We have seen her many times since and can honestly say we have our happy and healthy daughter back thanks to Sasha. Making the first step to see someone is hard particularly for young children who aren't really sure of their feelings or anxieties but Sasha genuinely recognises the problems early on and we cannot thank her enough for the support she has offered us. Would recommend to anyone.

Dr Hvidsten is currently working with our daughter who suffers from anxiety and is diagnosed with Aspergers. Following a period of school refusal and significant changes in behaviour in our daughter which we were at a loss to understand or deal with, we met with Dr Hvidsten. She instantly created a connection with our daughter as well as reassuring us that she could help. She has provided us with immediate practical advice as well as diagnosis. Through the relationship of trust that Dr Hvidsten has built up with our daughter, she is now back at school and coping as well as she can. Dr Hvidsten has given her and us ‘tools’ to work through difficulties and is always quick to respond to any request for further support. I cannot recommend her more highly. She is professional, kind, supportive and obviously has a wealth of experience.
