Dr. Dina is a Licensed Psychologist and BACP-registered Psychotherapist with extensive experience supporting individuals experiencing a wide range of psychological and emotional difficulties. Her own lived experience of therapy has shaped the way she works, allowing her to bring genuine empathy, authenticity, and compassion to the therapeutic relationship while helping clients create meaningful and lasting change. Over the past decade, Dina has worked across a variety of mental health settings, supporting individuals experiencing addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, personality disorders, and low self-esteem. Alongside her clinical practice, she has been actively involved in addiction research, strengthening her commitment to evidence-based psychological care and deepening her understanding of complex psychological presentations.
Her professional background spans both private practice and the charitable sector, where she served as both Trustee and Co-Manager of a charity supporting individuals and families affected by addiction. Through this work, she developed extensive experience supporting families experiencing complex relational difficulties, including domestic abuse, personality disorders, and codependent relationship patterns. In addition to her therapeutic work, Dina has held senior clinical and service development roles, including managing a multidisciplinary clinical team within a psychiatry department. Working alongside consultant psychiatrists and other healthcare professionals, she contributed to specialist ADHD services, supporting assessment pathways, service development, and collaborative treatment planning.
Dina adopts an integrative, relational, and trauma-informed approach to therapy, tailoring treatment to the unique needs of each individual. She is trained in a range of evidence-based therapeutic models, including Person-Centred Therapy, Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic approaches. She has also undertaken specialist training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Schema Therapy, delivering both individual therapy and structured therapeutic groups. Dr. Dina works closely with individuals who have experienced complex trauma and has particular expertise in supporting clients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), helping them develop healthier emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, build resilience, and create lasting behavioural change. Alongside these approaches, she integrates somatic and body-based techniques to support trauma recovery, strengthen mind-body awareness, and foster greater self-compassion and emotional safety.
Dina has a specialist interest in addiction, trauma, personality disorders, and neurodiversity. She has worked extensively alongside psychiatrists and multidisciplinary teams supporting individuals with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Conditions. She is trained in administering a range of recognised diagnostic and screening measures, including the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) for both children and adults, the Conners and DIVA assessments for ADHD, and QBCheck, an objective assessment of attention and impulsivity. She also contributes to wider cognitive assessments as part of comprehensive multidisciplinary diagnostic evaluations.
