About us

Hi, my name is Reena and I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist. I am the Founder of RDA Psychology Practice and RDA Autism and ADHD Practice. I have significant experience helping people who are experiencing emotional distress including but not limited to low mood, anxiety and trauma.

I am an integrative psychologist, drawing on evidence -based and specialist interventions. Psychological therapy can involve Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (Trauma focused), Compassionate focused therapy (CFT) and/or Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) to help gain an understanding of the difficulties clients face.

Sessions focus on collaboratively working to make sense of your presenting needs/distress and psychological treatment is tailored to your needs.

My clinical experience includes my most recent position in the NHS was for a Specialist Neuro Developmental Child and Adolescent Service, working with neurodivergent children and families. In this role I set up pathway for specialist schools, presented CPD, completed Psychology assessments and supervised colleagues within the Psychology Team. I have also offered reflective supervision and training for charities and private organisations.

I am now primarily working in private practice with both adult and children population. Depending on the services you are looking for, I offer Psychology Assessments, Psychological therapy, and/or Specialist Neuro-developmental assessments including Autism and ADHD. I also offer training, supervision and professional consultancy.

My current area of clinical practice is within Trauma and anxiety. I am also highly passionate about working with neuro divergent people.

My approach evolves in line with neuro affirming research and training. I am trained in the National Autism Training, Trainer programme, which underpins my approach working with neuro divergent people.

The values and ethos of my practice include connection, collaboration, idiosyncrasy and transparency.
