A Little About Me

My name is Dr Nahid Ahmad. I'm a Chartered Psychologist, registered with the British Psychological Society (membership number 170578) and with the Health and Care Professions Council. I have been a practicing therapist for 5 years. I have also worked extensively in research, evaluation and consultancy: before launching Preferred Futures I worked in this area for almost 20 years, in academic posts, and in the private sector. My passion for a better world is what drives all of my work. I use a bespoke goal-oriented approach guided by my clients' best hopes for the future - whether they be individuals struggling with their mental health, organisations wanting to know if they are achieving their intended outcomes, or schools and charities improving their wellbeing offer.
