Baskaran Savadamuthu
PGDip, MPH, BSC Hon, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist
Hi, I’m a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with 13 + years of experience. I work with people who are experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, panic attacks, health anxiety, chronic pain, IBS, low self-esteem, phobias, and most other mental health conditions. I am fluent in English, Tamil, Hindi, Urdu, Kannada, and Malayalam.
I was brought up in a family that encouraged my well-being above anything else, and I believe this is the reason I have been able to succeed in my life so far. I adopted the standards of my parents, who worked hard, showed great discipline, and always looked for the positive in all areas of life. I grew up watching my grandfather’s service to humanity as a doctor. This inspired me to direct my curiosity to health, which led me to study public health, mental health nursing, and then cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). I have a strong desire to help people to the best of my ability.
Supporting individuals through difficult times and helping them come through the other side is very rewarding.
Experience
I have experience working in various NHS trusts and in private health care, delivering evidence-based interventions for those diagnosed with a variety of mental health conditions. Alongside cognitive behavioural therapy, I am also a qualified Mental Health Nurse and Homeopath with an enhanced DBS check in place.
