Dr Naresh Kumar Buttan

Psychiatrist

verified by TherapyRoute

Consultant (Adult) Psychiatrist & Medico-Legal Expert with vast experience of different settings & countries over more than 20 yrs.

About Me

I bring over two decades of experience across diverse settings and countries to adult mental health care. This extensive background allows me to offer a nuanced understanding of your unique situation. As a Consultant Psychiatrist, I help you navigate complex mental health challenges with informed, clear guidance. Clients seeking a comprehensive and experienced perspective will find a supportive and tailored approach.

Approach

Experience across countries shapes how I structure each session: deliberate, focused and culturally sensitive, with attention to pace and clarity. I see adults in London and remotely, offering sessions in English, Hindi/Urdu and Punjabi so communication and context remain central. We map patterns together, set short-term, practical goals and review progress regularly, combining clinical judgement with lived experience to adjust direction. People facing complex mood, attention or trauma-related problems often find this steady, evidence-minded collaboration helpful.
