Recommendations

Esther van De Wall, MD PhD

Holistic mental health

"Raluca is a child- and adolescent psychiatrist with a broad expertise in among others family systemic theories, therapeutic approaches, psychopathology and psychopharmacology. She has a deep understanding of child's development and needs and how this effects the clinical presentation. I was always amazed by Raluca's sharp observations and analysis. Moreover, she is warm and compassionate both with patients and colleagues. Yet, she is not afraid to take leadership and meet conflicts if necessary. Overall, I can highly recommend Raluca Pascanu as a psychiatrist, therapist and colleague."

Alexander Corbett

Team Manager/Specialist Mental Health Practitioner

"I worked with Raluca for two years between 2008-10 ; In adolescent Eating Disorders Inpatients , Wisteria ward, Springfield Hospital, SWLSTG Trust Tooting Bec , SW London.

Raluca was a trainee psychiatrist, I was Team Manager. Although it was a long time ago, I have very clear memories of Raluca being very efficient, focused. She was keen to learn and brought very useful and interesting perspective to clinical and treatment decision making. She was skilled and mature, compassionate in her clinical judgments, one could rely on her to look at any issue from a balanced perspective. She was also good humoured and patient in her approach with staff and clients.

I would highly recommend her to any team working with children and adolescents with complex psychological issues."
