You have taken a big step to look for a psychologist to support you in your recovery and healing. This is an important decision and I hope that I can be an authentic professional for you as I do my best to work in a collaborative and compassionate manner. I will bring all my skills and expertise in this process to help form a therapy plan that works for you.

About me

I am a Principal Clinical Psychologist, EMDR therapist and systemic practitioner with over 23 years experience in mental health, providing psychological assessments and treatment interventions for adults and families experiencing a broad range of psychological difficulties and mental health problems. I have worked in a range of services including with the NHS, various charitable projects and with independent providers. I have supervised trainees, psychologists and mental health nurses over the years and have delivered training to health professional groups including trauma informed care to midwifery, perinatal and medical educators. I also have experience of offering psychological consultations to professionals, including to social care staff.

Research interests:
Experiences of birthing and accessing support in the perinatal period.

Dr Arshad is also a qualitative research field supervisor offering supervision to research trainees [for Clinical Psychology doctorate courses or related Masters courses in the UK].
