Hello, I’m Dr Sejal Patel (she/ her)

Welcome to Intersect Psychology

This website should give you all the information you need about my practice as a Clinical Psychologist, my experience and areas of specialism, and how I can support you.
If you would like to know anything else, or discuss how we can work together, get in touch.

intersectionality noun /ˌɪntəˌsɛkʃəˈnalɪti/

The interconnected nature of social categorisations such as race, class, sexuality and gender, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage. A theoretical approach based on such a premise.

In psychology, the concept of intersectionality acknowledges how our social identities - and the systems of privilege and oppression we live within - intersect and interact to shape our experiences and mental health. 

This is the approach I take to assessing and treating emotional well-being. I recognise that human beings cannot be understood or analysed solely through one dimension of identity; I consider the different parts of you that make you you and how your emotional well-being has been shaped by the context you live and work within.
