About Pardis
I am a Clinical Psychologist with experience working across NHS and private settings. My clinical experience includes working within learning disability services, supporting children and adults with neurodevelopmental differences, and working with people living with chronic and rare physical health conditions.
I have also worked with children and young people living in residential care, providing psychological support alongside their wider care teams. These experiences have highlighted for me the value of understanding a person’s experiences within the context of their relationships, circumstances and the systems around them.
I am interested in supporting people experiencing a range of emotional, psychological or behavioural difficulties. At Evolving Families, I work with young people aged 12 and above and adults.
I have particular interests in neurodiversity and supporting people living with chronic or complex physical health conditions. I am drawn to these areas because I am interested in how a person’s needs or way of experiencing the world interact with environments, expectations and systems that may not always fit them well.
I value using scientific and evidence-based approaches to assessment, alongside curiosity and compassion, to develop a shared understanding of why someone experiences, thinks, feels or responds to things in the way they do. I believe this provides an important foundation for collaboratively identifying ways forward that are meaningful to the person.
Through our work together, I hope you develop greater self-understanding and confidence in finding what works for you. Ultimately, I hope you feel empowered to continue moving forward independently.
