Dr Bisi Laniyan

Clinical Psychologist, Adult Specialist

I prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to express themselves and share their difficulties.  Respecting you as the expert of your life I work collaboratively with you to achieve your therapeutic goals.

Dr Bisi Laniyan is a UK trained Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience in the mental health and wellbeing sector.  She works primarily with adults facing various mental health and emotional challenges.

She has a keen interest in the effects of interpersonal trauma, early attachment difficulties, and adverse life experiences (especially in childhood) on an individual’s relationship with themselves, connections with others, and their overall worldview.

Driven by this interest, Dr Bisi pursued further training in trauma focussed therapy (TF-CBT), interpersonal (Interpersonal Psychotherapy) and behavioural approaches (Dialectic Behavioural Therapy).

Prior to joining Sage, she worked in a specialist trauma-focused adult mental health setting in the UK, providing psychological care for individuals with diverse mental health needs.

Her approach to therapy is person centred and underpinned by evidence based and culturally sensitive psychological interventions.

She is also trained and experienced in administering neuropsychological assessments.

For her, it is an honor to be trusted with people’s experiences, deepest thoughts, and fears. As such, she is committed to helping those she works with to live a rich, meaningful life despite their difficulties and achieve an overall improved quality of life.
