Meet our Founder
Nishat Ahmed
Mind & Heart Psychology was founded by Nishat Ahmed, a Senior Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and EMDR Therapist, currently specialising in Neuropsychiatry at the Maudsley Hospital, with a particular focus on Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and dissociative symptoms.
In her private practice, Nishat offers therapy for a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including anxiety disorders, depression, and trauma, drawing on evidence-based approaches and integrative therapeutic methods.
Nishat is also involved in teaching CBT, providing clinical supervision, facilitating reflective practice groups, and delivering corporate wellbeing events and workshops — bringing psychological insight into both clinical and community spaces.
Her work is deeply grounded in values drawn from the Qur’an and Sunnah, through which she continually observes the connection between Islamic guidance and Psychological principles.
Her vision for Mind & Heart Psychology is to benefit the Ummah and wider community by helping individuals better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours — and to cultivate resilience, balance, and spiritual wellbeing.
Nishat is professionally accredited with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).
