Shikila Shields

Professional Profile

I am an accredited and insured Mental Health Nurse, specialist ADHD Assessor, and Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with advanced expertise in trauma‑focused and neurodiversity‑affirming care.

I provide high‑quality, evidence‑based assessment and therapy for individuals navigating ADHD, OCD, trauma, anxiety, and complex emotional needs. With over a decade of clinical experience across the NHS and private sector, my practice integrates: 

• Comprehensive ADHD assessments for adults and young people, grounded in NICE‑aligned protocols and neurodiversity‑affirming principles
• Trauma‑focused CBT for PTSD, OCD, anxiety disorders, and intrusive thoughts
• Specialist support for autistic and ADHD clients, including sensory‑aware, executive‑function‑friendly adaptations
• Holistic mental health nursing expertise, ensuring safe, regulated, and compassionate care

My approach is warm, trauma‑informed, and deeply collaborative. I support clients to understand their minds, reduce shame, build emotional safety, and develop practical tools that genuinely work in everyday life. 

I work with individuals, organisations, and insurance partners, offering a service that is professional, accessible, and grounded in clinical excellence.

I abide by the professional and ethical standards laid down by the BABCP and I have full professional indemnity and current DBS clearance.
