Dr. Shireen Sultana

Dr. Shireen Sultana is a highly experienced Counselling Psychologist with over 20 years of clinical practice across NHS mental health services and private practice. She specialises in trauma-focused therapy, offering compassionate, evidence-based treatment tailored to each individual’s needs.

Shireen has particular expertise in working with people who have experienced PTSD, complex trauma, and traumatic life events, as well as associated conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, and long-term health conditions. She draws on a wide range of therapeutic approaches, including CBT and EMDR. Alongside standard EMDR, she provides Intensive EMDR therapy, an accelerated format designed to help clients achieve faster, deeper trauma recovery.

In addition to her trauma specialism, Shireen is passionate about supporting neurodiverse clients. She offers comprehensive diagnostic assessments for Autism using recognised gold-standard tools such as ADOS-2 and 3Di, and for ADHD, she employs the Diagnostic Interview for ADHD in Adults (DIVA), the Young DIVA for children, and QbCheck—a computer-based test providing objective measures of attention, impulsivity, and activity. These tools, combined with clinical interviews and other corroborative evidence, ensure thorough and accurate assessments.
