"Helping people achieve freedom from anxiety and stress"
ABOUT
Dr Rajan works primarily in private practice, providing therapy services to clients from the general adult and teenage population. She treats people with depression, anxiety and many other general mental health issues. Prior to this Dr Rajan provided psychological assessment and treatment in a long term forensic rehabilitation setting to clients with different personality disorders, schizophrenia, drug and alcohol addiction who had committed serious offences. This role required a degree of therapeutic flexibility to help with enduring mental health issues.
In different NHS Trusts, Dr Rajan worked as a psychologist providing cognitive analytic therapy in a secondary care setting to clients with personality disorder, depression, anxiety and PTSD where interpersonal relationships were central to the presentation. In a slightly different setting Dr Rajan provided individual integrative and group therapy to clients with schizophrenia, bipolar depression and personality disorder in a low secure environment. She also used cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamic and person centred counselling, schema therapy, transactional therapy and EMDR.
Dr Rajan developed a special interest in trauma therapies, somatisation - when psychological distress is expressed as physical symptoms - and emotional self management such as anger management.

Her doctoral research covered the area of cross cultural therapy in counselling psychology focussing on how this manifests in the therapeutic encounter and managed by practitioners.
