Dr Bisi Laniyan

“My approach to therapy is purposeful and compassionate. 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 and university students (young 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), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, 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 complex and diverse mental health needs.

Her approach to therapy is both purposeful and compassionate, it is grounded in evidence-based, culturally sensitive psychological interventions. She considers it a privilege to be entrusted with people’s experiences, thoughts, and fears, and is committed to helping clients lead rich, meaningful lives despite their challenges.

She is also trained and experienced in administering neuropsychological assessments.

Beyond individual therapy, Dr. Bisi has experience supporting employee mental health and performance through Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), as well as designing and delivering tailored wellbeing strategies, workshops, and training across local, international, and governmental organisations. She is passionate about contributing to psychologically safe, high-performing workplaces where individuals and organisations can thrive.

Alongside with her corporate work, Dr.  Bisi is deeply invested in nurturing the next generation of psychologists, guiding them through clinical, professional, and personal aspects of their development.
