Hi, I'm Panashe Foromani

I'm a BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with over six years of experience in psychological therapies, working across the full range of the NHS stepped-care model. I began my career as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner, delivering guided self-help and early intervention for anxiety and depression. That work taught me how powerful the right tool, offered at the right moment, can be. I went on to train and qualify as a High Intensity CBT Therapist, and I now work with adults navigating depression, PTSD, OCD, health anxiety, social anxiety and specific phobias using structured, evidence-based approaches.

Alongside my clinical roles, I spent two years as a Mental Health Advisor in a university setting, supporting students through crisis, transition and the pressure of balancing life with study. That role taught me to hold both the clinical picture and the practical reality of someone's life at the same time, and to make psychological ideas genuinely accessible rather than academic.

An approach built around how you actually think

I have particular experience working with neurodivergent clients, including adults with ADHD and dyslexia, and I know from years of clinical practice that no two minds work the same way. Standard approaches often assume a brain that thinks in straight lines. My approach is to adapt the therapy to the person, not the other way round. Whether that means restructuring how we use sessions, rethinking what "homework" looks like, or simply pacing things differently, treatment is tailored to how you actually think, process and live.

Culture, faith and identity are welcome here

Across every role I've held, I've worked with people from a wide range of cultures, backgrounds and communities, including many who had good reason to doubt whether services were built with them in mind. That experience shaped one of my deepest convictions as a therapist, and it's the conviction Pamoyo is built on: your background shapes how you experience the world, but you define what it means to you. Culture, community, family and faith are welcome in the room to whatever extent you bring them. My job is to understand your world well enough to make therapy fit it.

You're the expert on your life. I bring the clinical toolkit, and together we find what actually fits you.

Accreditation & qualifications

• BABCP-Accredited CBT Therapist, registered with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP); verify on the BABCP register

What working together actually looks like

Sessions run for 50 minutes over video, on a structured 12 sessions programme as standard (extendable to 15–20 sessions where the assessment points to a more complex picture). We track progress periodically using measures like the PHQ-9 and GAD-7, not because a number captures everything that matters, but because it gives us both a shared, honest reference point beyond "I think I feel a bit better".
