Expert Research Support for Quality Outcomes

"You’re the first supervisor who’s explained things in a way that has really clicked for me. Your feedback is so clear, practical, and easy to follow that I finally feel like I understand exactly what needs to be done and why. It’s genuinely taken a huge weight off my shoulders. Your knowledge is second to none, and you are absolutely worth every penny. I honestly wish I’d found you sooner! I’m really looking forward to continuing to work with you and getting the thesis over the finish line. I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help so far! It really is appreciated more than you know."

"Alastair is a great teacher and explains things very well then checking back we all are clear and understand and if we have any questions. I am looking to complete a lower level counselling course but then complete a coaching qualification and if there were any courses related to this or they were offered by Alastair / Unlock Psychology I would definitely complete here." 

"An extremely high standard of teaching."

"I throughly enjoyed the course and learning new skills and knowledge  it provided me with. I am looking to do a further course and would have most definitely applied to do it with the same centre had they had offered it. The course content and teaching were excellent." 

"I went to Dr. Pipkin for a gender dysphoria diagnosis and was definitely a bit worried beforehand but he was always respectful, and I felt that he understood what I wanted and why. I never felt like he was trying to push me towards or away from a particular answer to any question and I never felt uncomfortable about the questions he asked."

"I was very stressed before this assessment but Alastair was wonderful. He has a gentle, understanding and empathic approach and made me feel relaxed and able to communicate effectively
Thank you so much"

"Absolutely great to talk to, made me feel very comfortable and safe to open to, very understanding and doesn’t judge on your experiences, just reassures and comforts."

"Alastair is absolutely wonderful and has helped me greatly along my journey."

"Super empathetic. Alastair makes what can be a stressful experience really painless."

"I really enjoyed today, Alastair is a great lecturer who kept me awake and engaged all day! The regular breaks are extremely helpful in maintaining engagement and motivation. There is a good balance of talking and activities and i feel the information provided was extremely clear and structured well."

"I found the session very complete, informative and above all conducted in a very sensitive way. I wouldn't change anything."

"I recently had my gender dysphoria assessment with Alastair at Unlock Psychology. The whole process was straightforward, surprisingly fast, completely transparent, and entirely free of the gatekeeping you usually find in transgender healthcare. Alastair is a true professional who treats you with respect, making the environment feel genuinely safe and validating. Instead of making me jump through unnecessary hoops, the evaluation itself was grounded entirely in clear facts and objective reality. If you need a reliable clinical psychologist for gender identity services, I definitely recommend him."

"My existing NHS autism assessment was incomplete due to various factors. It was of great personal importance to me to have this updated and correctly recorded, by a qualified professional. I was pleased to find Unlock Psychology Ltd, who not only have their standards and full assessments recognised by the NHS, but were also willing to work with me to evidence and provide the sections that were previously absent or lacking.

Fair pricing.

Good communication before, during, and after interview, including checking for intention, being clear on needed information, and precision of wording on report.

Positive experience that fulfilled expected purpose."

"Such a comforting and warm couple of sessions. I felt able to speak without any worry of judgement and found the process to get this referral really smooth and somewhat enjoyable ! Definitely debunked a lot of nerves or anxiety I had about the steps towards top surgery."

"Absolutely phenomenal work. Very reassuring and overall a comfort to be around, a lot of people would be nervous and I get that, but when I was getting my diagnosis it was a wonderful experience because I felt safe and comfortable throughout it all."

"I had a great assessment with Alastair - he was helpful, non-judgemental and I didn't feel he was pushing me into services that I didn't need. Can highly recommend him."

"Had an ADHD assessment split over two sessions with Dr. Alastair Pipkin, who was friendly, professional and extremely helpful!"

"Insightful, patient, very thorough; yet easy to talk to. I was very pleased with the detail of my ADHD diagnosis. Would strongly recommend."
