Dr Gulshan Vazir works with adults and couples experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, and significant life changes. She supports clients whose difficulties may be linked to health, work, family, loss, identity, or major transitions, and works with couples who feel caught in repeated patterns, are struggling to communicate, or are trying to manage the strain that illness, uncertainty, pressure, or change can place on a relationship.

​

Gulshan is a highly experienced Counselling Psychologist and currently holds a senior NHS role as Principal Counselling Psychologist and Deputy Service Lead for the Oncology Psychology Service at University College London Hospitals. In this role, she supports people facing complex and emotionally demanding circumstances, helping them navigate distress, uncertainty, loss, identity changes, relationship strain, and the psychological impact of serious health conditions. This gives her particular strength in working with clients whose difficulties are layered, sensitive, or connected to significant life events.

​

She has also held senior posts at St George’s Hospital and the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. Across these roles, Gulshan has worked with clients experiencing a broad range of psychological difficulties, while also contributing to service development, supervision, consultation, and psychologically informed support for teams. This breadth gives her strong clinical judgement and a sophisticated understanding of how emotional wellbeing can be shaped by relationships, family systems, health, work, culture, and wider life pressures.

​

Gulshan’s academic background includes a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology, an MSc in Clinical Neuroscience from King’s College London, and a BA in Psychology from York University in Toronto. She has also completed further training in trauma, OCD, somatic difficulties, clinical supervision, psychoanalytic group work, art therapy, and work with children and young people.

​

Gulshan’s therapeutic style is warm, thoughtful, professional, and collaborative. She offers a discreet and carefully tailored approach for individuals and couples who want therapy to be reflective, focused, and practically useful. She helps clients clarify what they want to change, understand the patterns keeping them stuck, and develop more effective ways of responding to emotional and relational challenges. Her work combines depth and sensitivity with clear psychological thinking, supporting clients to strengthen resilience, improve relationships, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
