A caring and compassionate clinician with extensive knowledge and skills working with children, adolescents, parents, and school/local authority systems, Dr Nisha Patel is confident and competent at navigating the support children, young people and families need to thrive.
Working with mental health difficulties (e.g. depression, anxiety, trauma), paediatric illness, life-limiting conditions and cognitive difficulties, Dr Patel enjoys working with children, families, and systems to support them with life cycle transitions and adjustment to life-changing injuries, illness and trauma.
A good understanding of the impact of their cognitive difficulties helps her to tailor approaches to enhance independence and quality of life.
Dr Patel has a wealth of experience providing consultation and training to non-mental health professionals including schools, social workers, medical professionals and carers, ensuring a collaborative and individual approach to treatment. She believes that sharing a psychological formulation with professionals and families supports a rich understanding of the individual’s needs.
Dr Patel has written numerous high-quality, timely reports for various medico-legal process and purposes.
