Dina has extensive experience working within multidisciplinary teams and services  alongside consultant psychiatrists, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals.  She is trained in the administration of a range of recognised assessment tools, including  the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) and ADI-R for Autism, as well as  DIVA-5, Conners, and computerised attention measures for ADHD. She has conducted  neurodevelopmental assessments with both children and adults and contributes to  comprehensive psychological reports and multidisciplinary diagnostic formulations.

Alongside assessments, Dina has experience supporting neurodivergent individuals  therapeutically, including helping clients better understand their diagnosis, emotional  regulation, relationships, self-esteem, and the impact of neurodivergence on everyday  life. Her approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to the individual, with  an emphasis on understanding each person beyond diagnostic labels.

Dina has over a decade of experience within mental health and has worked across  private and NHS settings. Her wider clinical experience includes addiction, complex  trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, personality disorders, and co dependency. She works integratively, drawing on Person-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural  Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), psychoanalytic approaches, alongside  principles and techniques informed by DBT, Schema Therapy, and somatic approaches  where appropriate.

Dina has a particular interest in the intersection between neurodivergence, trauma,  addiction, emotional regulation, and relationships, and is passionate about providing  thoughtful, individualised care that recognises the complexity of each person’s  experiences.
