Dr. Tara Radwan , DClinPsy (UK)

In my work, with adults and adolescents (ages 13 years+), I strive to be a clinician who embodies compassion, respect, and curiosity, meeting each person with openness and without judgment. I aim to create a safe and containing space that allows all people with any degree of curiosity or vulnerability to explore and understand the various aspects of themselves, including the wounds and core pains often left behind by our experiences in life. I am passionate about walking alongside my clients with empathy and respect, supporting each person on their path towards healing. 

My previous clinical experiences have included both working privately as well as within multiple NHS settings in the UK, working with diverse communities with mild to moderate concerns alongside services specializing in complex trauma and abuse. My work has covered a wide range of mental health difficulties and distressing life experiences, and I am particularly passionate about supporting people who have experienced various forms of trauma throughout their life. 

My therapeutic approach is integrative and trauma-informed, and I work collaboratively with my clients drawing on various modalities to ensure that their needs are met. I value the therapeutic relationship as a space where trust and safety lay the foundation for recovery, self-exploration, and growth.
