The people your child will actually work with

Dr Hadi Shaker Naeeni

Dr Shaker Naeeni is a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists — a distinction recognising more than a decade of dedicated service and significant contribution to the field. He currently serves as Lead Consultant in an NHS Trust in the home counties, and trained at the Royal London and Bart’s scheme before specialising in child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Cambridge’s Developmental Psychiatry Section.

With more than 20 years’ experience, his practice centres on neurodevelopmental conditions — ADHD and autism — alongside the anxiety, mood difficulties and effects of adverse childhood experience that so often accompany them. He is known for detailed diagnostic assessment and treatment plans built around the individual child, and families consistently comment on his manner as much as his expertise.

He is also a respected educator and supervisor, has contributed to peer-reviewed research cited internationally, and has appeared in the media as a trusted voice on child and adolescent mental health.

Dr Anya Ciobanca

Dr Ciobanca qualified in medicine in 2004 and trained in public health before moving into child and adolescent psychiatry, completing her Core Psychiatry Training and Specialist Training in Child and Adolescent Mental Health in Cambridge. She has worked across a range of NHS settings with both children and adults, including people with learning disabilities and eating disorders.

Her approach to assessment is personalised and holistic. She has particular expertise in neurodevelopmental conditions — ADHD, autism and tic disorders — and in the conditions that frequently co-occur with them, including depression, anxiety, phobias, PTSD and OCD. Families describe her as compassionate and thorough, taking the time to understand the full picture before setting out a way forward.

Alongside her psychiatric training she completed in-depth training as a Cognitive Analytical Therapist at St Thomas’ Hospital, giving her particular expertise in combining psychological and pharmacological approaches. She is a visiting consultant psychiatrist at the University of Cambridge, where she delivers complex communication training to medical students.

Dr Debra Keay

Dr Keay is the ADHD clinical lead for a London-based NHS Trust. She has extensive experience across the full range of child and adolescent mental health, with particular interest and expertise in the assessment and management of neurodevelopmental conditions — ADHD, autism spectrum conditions and tic disorders.

She also regularly assesses and treats anxiety, mood disorders, OCD, psychotic disorders and eating disorders, which matters in practice: children rarely arrive with one neat difficulty, and a clinician who can see the whole picture is more likely to get the diagnosis right.
