Zara Tandy
Assistant Psychologist
Biography
I initially joined Affiniti+ as an intern and am now an assistant psychologist here.
I was drawn to the Affiniti+ tailored approach to mental-health care, and am committed to normalising mental-health discussions and advocating for therapy. I currently lead the development of groups, workshops and training sessions aimed at enhancing understanding and management of mental health and neurodiversity.
I also deliver neurodevelopmental assessments and therapy, as well as writing clinical reports.
I have a master’s degree in developmental psychology and psychopathology from King’s College London. My master’s research focused on the effects of early life experiences on later development, particularly how childhood trauma may result in psychotic-like experiences in young adults. I also hold a psychology degree from the University of Bristol, and am proud to be the first person in my immediate family to go to university.
Outside my professional life, I am passionate about the arts, regularly attending ballet performances, visiting galleries and playing the oboe in several classical orchestras. I work hard to be great at my job, help others and grow personally.
