About Sagari

Dr. Sagari Sarkar is a Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience working with children, young people, families and adults across NHS and various practice settings. She currently works within Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in London and brings a strong background in both clinical psychology and developmental neuroscience to her therapeutic work.

Sagari completed her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at King’s College London and also holds a PhD in Developmental Neuroscience, alongside postgraduate training in neuroscience and psychology. Her combined clinical and research background allows her to integrate psychological theory, neurodevelopmental understanding, and evidence-based interventions in a thoughtful and individualised way.

Clinically, Sagari works with a wide range of presentations including anxiety, low mood, OCD, stress, behavioural difficulties, and neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD. She has extensive experience carrying out comprehensive psychological assessments, including cognitive and ADHD assessments, and works closely with families, schools and multidisciplinary teams to ensure coordinated and holistic care.

Her therapeutic approach is integrative and draws on a range of evidence-based models, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and narrative approaches. She is experienced in supporting parents through structured parenting interventions and has contributed to research-informed parenting programmes in collaboration with leading UK institutions.

Sagari has also worked in specialist settings including neurodevelopmental services, early intervention in psychosis, learning disability services, and older adult mental health. Her earlier work as a neuropsychology researcher at Great Ormond Street Hospital and King’s College London further informs her understanding of the links between brain development, early life experiences, and emotional wellbeing.

Sagari offers a warm, collaborative and formulation-led approach, working with individuals and families to understand difficulties in context and to support meaningful, sustainable change.

I came in not really knowing how to talk about depression that hadn't shifted despite years of trying different treatments. Sagari made that possible, using an attachment and social-learning grounded approach, which felt like the missing piece in everything I'd tried before. More than anything, I've stopped bracing for the worst.

I don't usually leave reviews, but Sagari's work on a pattern of self-sabotage every time things went well deserves one — bringing mindfulness into every session, which gave language for things that had never had words before. After everything, the fog has properly lifted, and I don't take that for granted.

What I appreciated most about Sagari was that self-harm I'd been struggling with in secret was never treated as a box to tick, through narrative-based work, which made space for what actually needed addressing. Some days more than others, I stopped waiting to feel ready and just started living again, finally. I've already told friends to book with Sagari.

Some things you can't fix alone, and the psychological weight of race and cultural identity was one of them for me. Sagari helped, drawing on narrative techniques, which was applied with real skill, not just theory. A year on, I can sit with difficult feelings without spiralling, and that's no small thing.

Before seeing Sagari, paranoid thoughts that were becoming hard to manage felt completely unmanageable. Drawing on attachment-based parenting work, which brought real depth without ever feeling heavy. Nowadays, I don't dread the mornings the way I used to, finally.
