" Dolly is a very special individual who is able to inspire and motivate her fellow users/survivors. Time and time again, we have received feedback from users stating how much they have valued Dolly’s contribution to our work and the wider user movement" Teresa Priest, Southwark Mind

"Dolly Sen is a remarkable woman. I have heard her speak on three separate occasions and have also co-facilitated a one day workshop with her on recovery. She is a talented presenter, who has a unique ability to reach both staff and service users. She presents in a lively, authoritative and yet humble manner. She is also very reliable. I will certainly be looking to commission a lot more work from Dolly in the future."

Dr Jerome Carson, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.

"Dolly Sen is a living legend in the world of mental health. Book her now."

"Dolly Sen presented a very clear, insightful and thought proving perspective entitled “Into a more Positive Light” at the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust annual Psychology Conference on the 24th November 2008. Her approach to life and the way she approaches challenges in her life brought the audience more in touch with the struggles people face in living with a mental illness, but more importantly the positive and constructive way she addresses challenges such as social stigma, preconceived beliefs and prejudice associated with mental illness."

Dr Peter du Plessis, Deputy Trust Head of Psychology, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust

"The feedback from the trainees was very positive and hearing your story and the huge journey you have undertaken was inspiring and thought provoking for our day to day practice. I was impressed by your ability to describe clearly difficult and traumatic experiences in an articulate and resonant way.

Dr Susannah Whitwell, ST6 General Adult Psychiatry, On behalf of the Calman Committee
