Adham Hanafi
Clinical psychologist and accredited CBT therapist
I am a clinical psychologist and accredited CBT therapist. I trained at the University of Bath. The majority of my work is in NHS community mental health teams, providing therapy for both adults and young people (often alongside their families). This means I have experience working with people at different stages of life across a variety of mental health difficulties (for example OCD, psychosis, PTSD, depression and anxiety-related difficulties). During therapy, I emphasise shared understanding of difficulty and plan interventions once this is established.
