Dr Shabnam Berry-Khan

More Information:

Shabnam is really enthusiastic about bringing psychology to the treating medico-legal work and so she talks a lot about ideas like the therapeutic relationship being the cornerstone of all Personal Injury professionals’ work, how trauma is inevitable after a major injury and not recognising this becomes a barrier to progress, that psychotherapeutic strategies can be used by any injury professional to help clients in distress, and she gives permission for every professional to self-care for sustainability in this line of work. She and her guests talk about all these ideas and more in her podcast, The Psychology of Case Management, and the free mailing list she provides. She and the PsychWorks Associate teams often contribute to these resources as they are a talented bunch, with a lot to give!

When she’s not at work, Shabnam enjoys spending time with her young family and caring for her elderly father. She tries to stay connected to her culture and wider family. She has recently become a National Trust enthusiast, seeing the value in spending time outdoors. That said, she has always been a keen spa guest and will happily sit poolside in a robe and slippers, reading a book, listening to a podcast or chatting to a spa companion. Shabnam sits on the Board of Directors for MindFood, an ecotherapy charity in Ealing that supports people with depression, anxiety and stress to improve their wellbeing through gardening and horticulture.
