Biography
Tami has had extensive experience working dynamically with children and their families. Trained at both the Anna Freud Centre and the Tavistock Portman NHS, she brings a psychodynamic lens to her role as an Educational Psychologist. She currently works for Camden LA and is part of the trauma-informed TiPIC in schools project, providing training and supervision that emphasises a whole-system approach. She is keenly interested in the overlaps between trauma and neurodivergence and the changing landscape in understanding behavioural and clinical presentation in females. Her own background of fleeing Tehran before the revolution as well as maternal South-African Jewish heritage, has sensitised her to cultural contexts within her work in Camden, that includes refugees families.Cultural competence is at the core of her practice, enhancing her approach to complexity woven with intersectionality.
