Meet Dr Kez, Private Clinical Psychologist in Hertfordshire.
“Healing begins in relationships where you feel safe, seen, and connected.”
My Professional Background
Hello! I’m Dr Kez Salaheddin (DClinPsy), a fully qualified Clinical Psychologist (with HCPC registration), with over 15-years experience working in UK-mental health services. My professional journey has taken me across the NHS and private sector, where I’ve had the privilege to work with a breadth of client groups from all walks of life. I now specialise in supporting adult clients (age 18 and over) seeking to overcome early attachment trauma, improve their interpersonal relationships, self-esteem and emotional wellbeing, through exploration, insight and change.
I am mindful of the unique background and personal journeys that clients bring to therapy and my approach is rooted in a genuine curiosity to understand you as a whole person that is beyond a clinical diagnosis. I am committed to providing a safe therapeutic space that is culturally sensitive and a place where you can bring all parts of yourself, without shame or judgement.
If you think I might be able to help, or you have any questions, head over to my FAQs or get in touch for an initial telephone consultation.
