I’m Dr Anna Batho, a UK‑based Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience across major London hospitals and specialist NHS services. I currently work in Critical Care within a leading London NHS Trust, supporting patients, families, and staff through some of the most challenging moments of their lives.
My clinical background spans anxiety, depression, trauma, and complex mental health presentations. I am also formally trained to assess and diagnose ADHD in adults, offering comprehensive assessments grounded in evidence‑based practice.
I trained at University College London (UCL) and have spent my career working at the intersection of psychological science, healthcare, and human connection.

Speaking & Consultancy
I speak on topics including:

My style blends clinical expertise with warmth, clarity, and real‑world relevance. I work with organisations, conferences, and creative partners seeking grounded, human‑centred psychological insight.
My Book: How to Belong
I am currently writing How to Belong, a book that explores the psychology of loneliness and the universal human need for connection. Drawing on clinical experience, research, and stories from the frontline of healthcare, it offers practical guidance for anyone seeking deeper relationships, stronger communities, and a more grounded sense of self.
