I saw Dr Woodfield for my perinatal anxiety and PPD. I have seen many psychologists over my life, but none have had quite the impact he has had. I can honestly say that I don’t how I would have coped with having a baby without his guidance. He’s gentle, non-judgemental, helps you focus on what’s important, and reduce your anxiety. It wasn’t about trying to run through and address and understand everything that was happening to me, I need a lifetime for that. It was about bringing me to the right place to enable me to cope and even enjoy the birth of my child.
I felt compelled to write a review after reading a negative review from someone else. He is an older man, and he has many years experience specifically with psychology in obstetrics. It was comforting to know that nothing I said would be new or surprising to him. He takes a lot of notes. It meant that while I was talking, he’d reflect back on things I had said and draw connections. He must see many patients but I felt like I didn’t need to repeat everything again and again to him. Everyone has their own experience, but if you are in a place that you need help, don’t let another’s bad experience dissuade you from reaching out to him.
