M Saeed

I am an experienced Psychology Practitioner and Mental Health Support Specialist with over 18 years’ experience working with adult service users across community and wellbeing settings. I hold a BA (Hons) in Social Sciences (Psychology) and a postgraduate certificate in Psychology of Mental Health and Wellbeing at MSc level. My professional background includes delivering evidence-based interventions, particularly Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness approaches, supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, trauma, and emotional distress. I have extensive experience in risk assessment, safeguarding, and developing personalised support plans, working in line with UK frameworks such as the Care Act 2014 and safeguarding guidance. I have worked collaboratively with multi-disciplinary teams, including GPs, social workers, and voluntary organisations, ensuring coordinated and holistic care. I also bring strong leadership experience through my roles as a community chairman and organisational lead, where I have developed wellbeing programmes and supported diverse populations. I am particularly skilled in communication, empathy, and building trust, and I am committed to promoting mental wellbeing, resilience, and positive outcomes for service users.
