Clinical Psychologist

An experienced professional trained and in a range of therapeutic modalities and organizational interventions.

About Me

Dr Amra Saleem Rao is an experienced Clinical Psychologist who partners with individuals and organisations. Drawing on training in diverse therapeutic modalities, she helps clients navigate personal challenges and complex workplace dynamics. Sessions offer a collaborative space to explore concerns and develop practical, tailored strategies. Her breadth of expertise means she can thoughtfully guide those seeking clear paths forward, fostering resilience and well-being in various contexts.

Approach

My practice centers on careful assessment that shapes focused, practical work—linking everyday patterns to clearer goals and small experiments. In London and online, in English or Punjabi, sessions are paced to suit you: reflective enquiry, focused psychodynamic exploration when helpful, and clear action plans between meetings to test what changes. I listen for relational themes and stress responses, then co-create steps you can try in work and home life. This way of working often suits people navigating transitions, relationships or burnout.
