Dr Obi Aja - DPSych, MSc, PGDip, BSc, CPsychol.

I started my role in mental at HMP prison, where I facilitated group therapy for 2 years. I have worked with MIND services, in-patient services, substance misuse, cancer support services, and NHS community mental health team. These roles involved working with a broad spectrum of psychological distress and mental health difficulties, ranging from mild to severe and enduring. In delivering this service, I use different therapeutic models such as CBT, MBT, DBT, EMDR and other relational psycho-therapeutic models.

Alongside working in psychological services, I have been involved in providing pastoral support in my local church and community for the last 14 years.

I believe that religion and spirituality is an integral part of human existence. So, I can support clients who are interested in incorporating these into their treatment.

My research area relates to religion/spirituality and psychology and its role in mental health recovery. This is my area of speciality and I will continue to be involved with the writing and dissemination of research in this area.

I am a Chartered Member of The British Psychological Society and an accredited member of the Health and Care Professions Council. I am committed to the codes of ethics for both societies and adhere to their professional standards and practices..
