About Me
Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. My name is Dr Zeinab Iqbal (MBBS, MRCPsych), Consultant Psychiatrist.
With almost 20 years of work with the NHS and Private Clinics, I am an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of children and adolescents who experience, and struggle with, their emotional and mental health difficulties.
My extensive work life within psychiatry including CAMHS and inpatient units, has enabled me to successfully collaborate with families, parents and caregivers to provide them with compassionate and person centred approach during what can be extremely stressful times for everyone involved.
Emotional wellbeing and positive self esteem are vital for young people to navigate and function independently in today's ever changing world. I use a range of holistic and therapeutic approaches in my assessment and treatment bringing years of knowledge and successful experience working with children and young people with Autism, ADHD, low mood, psychosis, self-harm, eating disorders and Tourette Syndrome.
As parents or caregivers, you are the shepherd in your child's journey through life. In the modern world , children and young people are facing various stresses and challenges including social media and breakdown of social networks. As a psychiatrist I do prescribe medication for children and young people suffering from severe ADHD symptoms and mood disorders, however I endeavour to use treatment options such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Systemic Therapy and Mindfulness in my clinical practice, before considering medication.
I believe wholeheartedly in providing the next generation with a nurturing environment in which they may flourish and reach their truest potentials.
I look forward to hearing from you to discuss your needs, working together to give you peace of mind for a brighter future for your children.
