Dr Anindita Sarkar, DClinPsy

Registered Clinical Psychologist

“I'm a consultant clinical psychologist providing evidence-based assessment and treatment for children, young people, adults and families, delivered in line with NICE guidelines and grounded in 25 years of clinical experience. ”

About me

I'm Dr Anindita Sarkar, founder of Affiniti+ and a consultant clinical psychologist with over two decades in the NHS and Local authority clinical experience including working in the role as the Head of Clinical Services for a large London borough before I set up Affiniti+ (www.affinitiplus.com) built around accessible, evidence-based care. My work is collaborative: I want you to understand what's happening for you and leave each session with something practical to work with, not just insight for its own sake. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, so what we do together is shaped by what actually helps you, not a fixed programme. Above all, I aim to create a space where you feel heard and can address what matters most without judgement.

Approach

Sessions follow a clear, collaborative structure: we set focused goals, build a shared formulation and try small, practical steps that fit your life. Whether we meet in London or online, I keep sessions paced and measured, blending careful assessment with brief experiments between sessions so progress feels concrete and manageable. For young people and adults alike, the work is tailored: sometimes more behavioural, sometimes more reflective, always checking what's actually helping. This suits people who want reliable, structured support through change rather than an open-ended chat.

Services

I work across a broad range of presentations, including anxiety, low mood, stress, trauma and difficulties adjusting to life changes, drawing on CBT and other NICE-recommended interventions matched to what the evidence supports for each presentation. I also work with children and young people, parents, organisations and practitioners looking for structured, accessible psychological input rather than a generic wellbeing offer.
