Ratings for Dr. Helen Sweeting
I've read all the reviews on Dr Sweeting on this site to date and I can't disagree more with the negative comments. Obviously everyone is different and horses for courses etc but in my eyes she is a ‘God send’!
In the last 2 years I've spent 4 weeks at Malvern Private rehap plus I attended their post rehab day program twice weekly for around 6 weeks. I have since spent 5 weeks at Delmont detox and have attended its post detox day program twice weekly for around 8 months. The day patient program is fantastic but it's group therapy so there's only so deep you can go in working on the underlying issues that resulted in the addiction.
After hearing many other Delmont day program patients raving about Dr Helrn Sweeting over a number of months and after my 2 day program therapists saying it was the right time for me to get some one on one therapy, I decided to give her a try. I can honestly say I have made more progress on my “issues” in 3 months every 2nd week than I made in the prior 2 years of one on one therapy.. And for what it's worth, if you have private health insurance and attend the Delmont day program at least once a week, Dr Sweetings fees are included at costs paid for by most health funds, so seeing her is free for many. That said, I would happily pay her fees myself if I had to, she is amazing.

If it were possible; I would score this incompetent, arrogant, heartless "doctor" MINUS 100 stars, as a one star rating is exceedingly generous!! My brother is an alcoholic and narcotics user and is seeking to rehabilitate himself and recover from his addictions. He also has several medical issues requiring medications that have been prescribed to him. After an appointment with this medical imposter, he was worse off! Her decision to abruptly stop some of his medications, even though he is struggling mentally and physically with his health and experiencing withdrawal symptoms, led to a relapse fueled by anger, frustration and anxiety. He was ignored, belittled and treated with zero respect, care or compassion and shown no empathy whatsoever. This disgusting creature should have her medical license revoked, and we will be doing all we can to stop her from hurting her patients and the people they love. Shame on you "doctor"!

I was told bill Wilson would be looking after me by Dr Sweeting herself. Never heard from Bill , kept reaching out to Windana for help. All i got told by Dr Sweeting is that I would not be accepted into windana detox because i was not an injector. This is despite desperately needing detox 3 months earlier, DHS sending my children,
who i have managed to raise on my own without family or governmental support fo 10 years as a single mum who works 7 days a week , away to live with their Dad while I get clean and mentally well. The problem is I AM TRYING SO HARD to comply with all of Dhss requests and get the help I need, but the system keeps bucking me off the horse. I miss my sober clean life so much and even more I am heartbroken because of what I've put my beautiful boys through. They both have special needs and have been through so much trauma already . Shame on you Dr Sweeting for sending me away because of my choice to uphold a vow I made to.myself years ago , that I would never touch a needle. I have relapsed after 25 years of not touching a hard drug. All the pressure just got too much and I caved. All I want to do is get into a detox so I can do withdrawals safely. But I'm.losing hope and have decided to just try to come off everything on my own. It will be a nightmare, I know it only too well, and if I die I die. But at least my story is now out there. DR SWeeting never even did a follow up even though I desperately tried to call her. My father was a GP . A brilliant one because he could empathise and read his patients so well that they became people he treated not patients, and his powerful intellect and intuition saved countless lives. Shame he couldn't save his own. He died an addict at the age of 61. I am struggling to find a way through this darkness
MHICCT have been brilliant ascwas HOPE when I first relapsed last august..I was nearly 5 years sober and 25 years clean . Boy. I screwed up so badly and I miss my kids and they've said they might not want to come home with has crushed me completely. I will never force them to come. I will have to set them free and pray one day they may find their way back to.me , but I'm doubtful at this stage because their father and Stepmother have told them things about me and my addiction that have confused them and made them feel torn. I remember that feeling as a child. I can't even get the opportunity to defend myself because my contact is controlled by DHS even though i voluntarily agreed it would be best for them to spend some tine with their dad while i get well . I wanted to protect them from seeing me in withdrawals at all costs. However, biggest mistake of my life letting them go, because now everyone has handballed me, DHS are doing nothing to put plsns in placevso i can even see my boys . Its insane. I am appalled. Thank God For the AA/ NA fellowship, my higher power , my loyal patient friends and a special person or two at MHICCT ( Mind - Connect ) . Thankyou

Sweeting, I don't want to call her a doctor, is not only incompetent but cruel as well. I encourage people to make a formal complaint. I took my complaint all the way to the ombudsmen. It was a year of my life and very stressful, but I am proud I stood up for myself. If she gets enough complaints who knows what could happen?

I was referred to see this doctor merely for advice and a med review. All she did was judge me from the start, basically told me I was delusional, and she wanted me spend time in the private clinic which is hideously expensive. I persisted however with more visits, the last one she cut me off my regular meds and my mental health plummeted. I didn't trust psychs after this experience, it's taken me another two years of living in extremely exacerbated mental health issues to trust and reach out for another psych. My recent experience has been the polar opposite of seeing this doctor, and that's through the public system. Wish I had read the reviews on her before I saw her, probably a reason behind the fact she practiced remotely. I can't believe a doctor actually made my mental health issues WORSE. Oh , and one occasion I waited for her for over an hour, only to be then told she’d gone home

It's hard to even say the title (Dr.) This woman is far from any sweet hearted. She has and continues to ruin people's lives. Why is Dr. Helen Sweeting still legally able to practice via Delmont Private Hospital? She is a ashtray hearted unqualified clown. Ask her about VGCC and VGSS! This compulsive lying rat has had her time. A member of LulzSec died from her treatment. That is enough to end her agenda! #Delmont

Don't let negative comments fool you. Sometimes us addicts don't like to be told the truth possibly?
Dr Sweeting pretty much was one of the persons that i can count on my fingers who contributed to saving my life literally. She was straight and upfront and it is exactly what I needed. I am not sure that I would still be alive if it wasn't for her. Simple as that.
