Background

About Mazda Beigi

I am a clinical academic, with experience of working and studying at the Institute of Neurology in Queen Square where I was co-supervised for a PhD in Psychology. I completed my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the King’s College London Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience. I remain active in research and have a range of high impact factor publications. My clinical experience extends to working with clients across the life span. I have experience of working therapeutically in community and inpatient settings using a range of interventions including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Narrative Exposure Therapy. I am particularly experienced in delivering neuropsychological assessments for clients with a range of neurodegenerative disorders including dementia and movement disorders. My clinical interests also include working with refugees and other marginalised groups. This includes working at the Helen Bamber Foundation. I have experience of writing reports for clients in the asylum process and those generally challenging legal decisions. I am experienced at providing medical legal reports for the courts, including Criminal and Immigration Courts. I strongly believe in delivering interventions and assessments that are culturally sensitive and actively work towards modelling therapy to incorporate this where appropriate. I am also involved in media activities, including radio and podcasts.
