Sanaz Bassiri
Psychologist and Executive Coach
Sanaz brings over two decades of unique, dual-lens experience to her practice, bridging the gap between psychological insights and high-stakes corporate leadership. Holding a Master’s degree in Organisational Psychology, Sanaz spent over 20 years embedded in rapidly shifting corporate and tech environments, where she guided organisational transformations and coached executives through intense workplace pressures. This extensive background allows her to maintain a sharp, practical mental map of the external systems her clients navigate daily, while safely guiding them through the invisible internal currents that shape how they live, lead, and relate.
Sanaz provides psychological support and assessments for individuals struggling with unresolved thoughts and feelings including anxiety, depression, stress, loneliness, grief and other kinds of distress. Her focus areas are:
The Corporate-Life Intersection: Managing executive burnout, systemic workplace stress, boundary-setting, and intense career crossroads.
Lifespan Thresholds and Women's Health: Supporting women through the invisible loads of matrescence (motherhood) and postpartum anxiety, as well as navigating perimenopause and midlife transitions within demanding careers.
Adult ADHD Assessment & Support: Working with professionals whose lifelong coping systems are fracturing under current demands, offering supportive ADHD assessments and practical tailored strategies.
EMDR & Trauma Recovery: Advancing her practice into trauma-informed care by integrating Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process deeper emotional blocks (from August 2026).
The Digital Landscape and AI Complexities: Navigating the modern digital landscape e.g. addressing the stress of constant connectivity, how technology impacts real-world relationships, how children process online misinformation & disinformation, or teens turning to AI for advice and connection. I am actively exploring emerging challenges and learning alongside you.
Sanaz views her practice as a collaborative partnership where clients can gently look beneath their outer layers. She helps individuals safely unpack the vibrant, complex pieces of their stories, process emotional weight, and find their footing with clarity.
