I would recommend making your own mind up about Dr kieran. He is busy because his patients want to see him… that tells you a lot. I have found him very helpful and motivated to help you with ADD especially. ADD is not just about treatment with stimulants. He has always spent time talking with me about my life challenges and how to succeed. For me, he has been a true positive.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS IF YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE ADHD. I saw Dr Forster back in 2014 with suspected ADHD. After about 25 mins of history taking I was effectively dismissed by Forster; his advice being to read a book on mindfulness. Forster, of course, still charged me for the whole session, despite it being half the length it should have been.

Now, some 8 years later, I have just been diagnosed with moderate to severe ADHD after a thorough assessment process over a number of sessions and tests.

During these 8 years, however, my life has been impacted profoundly. It has cost me career opportunities, significant impact on my mental health and I became addicted to alcohol to boot, all of which are strongly linked with untreated ADHD.

Things may have been different had I received the due care and attention in my initial meeting with Forster instead of being patronised and dismissed as not having ADHD after half a session. 8 years of struggle and suffering could have been lessened, at the very least, if not eradicated. But it's not just me. I am now in some ADHD support groups and have been saddened to hear that others have had very similar experiences with Forster.

Probably the worst mental health professional I have ever seen - and I work in mental health and AOD myself (though I didn't at the time of appt). Went to see him about suspected ADD. Took a brief history and told me to read a book on meditation - and whisked me out after about 20-25 minutes. I was seriously shocked as I was still paying for a full consult which i didn't get. Having read through his reviews here (many of which he has clearly written himself, particularly on his other profile) and his website - I would strongly suggest he's personality disordered. You and your mental health deserve better than being treated this way.

After reading some nasty reviews here I feel obliged to write a true review of DR.Forster who has been my psychiatrist for the last 5 years. He has always been professional as well as caring. He has helped me and my family immensely and has transformed my life over the years from a very dark place to where am I am much more happier leading a normal life.

Outstanding. I was referred to another Dr who refused to see me so did some research and found Dr Forster. So glad I did. I look forward to my sessions and always feel better afterwards. I am very grateful for his Clinical advice but more importantly the moral support which has benefitted me greatly.
