About Me
Dr Kate Tangri, HCPC registered Consultant Clinical Psychologist
I am the founder of Forest Psychology, a therapy practice in north-east London which supports mums, dads and parents-to-be with the challenges associated with becoming a parent.
As a mum to two boys myself, I am acutely aware that parenting can be demanding, overwhelming and emotionally and physically exhausting. Becoming a parent can also result in you losing sight of your own sense of identity, wants and needs.
When social media is full of photos of happy parents and smiling children, it can be hard to admit that being (or becoming) a parent is not necessarily what you expected, and there may be aspects you find tricky.
Therapy can help you navigate these challenges, work through your difficulties and rediscover your sense of self.
My Qualifications & Experience
To call yourself a clinical psychologist in the UK, you are required to have completed a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, and be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
I completed my doctorate at the University of Leeds in 2009 and have been working as a qualified clinical psychologist for 17 years, 12 of those specialising in perinatal mental health.
Alongside my private practice, I currently work as a consultant clinical psychologist and professional lead for perinatal psychology services at the East London NHS Foundation Trust.
Prior to my current role, I worked for many years in specialist NHS perinatal and parental mental health services across London. I have supported mums, dads and parents-to-be with a range of issues, including adjustment to parenthood, bonding and attachment difficulties, changes in the couple relationship, birth trauma, postnatal anxiety and depression.
