About me
Hi, I’m Jyoti, a warm, caring and highly skilled Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years experience. I have specialised in working with children, young people, parents and families in the NHS and charity sector across community, outpatient and inpatient settings. I am passionate about helping individuals manage their wellbeing. My aim is to empower you to build on your strengths and skills and to thrive and strive for the best in each other achieving your potential as individuals and as a family unit. I am experienced in working with difficulties such as low mood, anxiety, low self esteem, trauma, eating and sleep problems.
I offer an integrative approach using evidence based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mentalization Based Therapy for Children alongside Attachment theory and Systemic theory. I value a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship, which I believe will bring about the most change. I aim to provide a supportive, safe and non-judgemental therapeutic space.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been working with children and families for 20 years and qualified as a Clinical Psychologist from University College London (UCL) in 2010. Although qualified to work with people across the lifespan, I have always worked with children and families.
In the NHS, I worked in various child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) in the community, outpatient and inpatient settings. I have worked with children individually, with parents, with families as a whole and with children and families in groups. I have specialised in assessing and treating children and young people and their families and in working with adolescents who were thought to be at risk in a number of inpatient units across the North London area. I now have a particular interest in working in the community and have worked in school settings for over ten years, supporting children and young people at various stages of their journey, from those struggling with minor challenges with their emotional wellbeing to those who have struggled more chronically and have needed longer-term help.
I currently work in the charity sector where I lead and manage a team of mental health professionals who work within the council in an inner city of London Borough with children and young people from birth, up to the age of 25 years, from diverse cultural backgrounds. The team focuses on working alongside and within the community, including with young people with complex trauma. The service aims to make psychological services accessible to the community; therefore, I work in primary and secondary schools, colleges, medical centres and social care settings and offer therapy online. I also offer consultation to Social Workers and reflective practice groups in both Social Care and school settings.
