My Journey

Dr. Avani Ratan

Clinical Psychologist | Psychotherapist

I’m Dr. Avani Ratan, a Clinical Psychologist with a decade of work experience alongside individuals who’ve struggled for years with anxiety that whispers you’re broken, OCD that won’t let go, young people figuring out who they are, undiagnosed ADHD, and depression. I also work with couples learning to see each other again and parents seeking answers for their children.

Over the course of my clinical practice, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples presenting with a wide range of psychological, emotional, behavioural, cognitive, and relationship concerns. My work combines evidence-based psychotherapy with comprehensive psychological assessment. I have conducted more than 10,000 psychological assessments, including assessments related to ADHD, learning difficulties (SLD), IQ Assessments, Autism, Personality Assessment, Emotional and Behavioural concerns, and Diagnostic Clarification.

I believe good psychological care requires both clinical rigor and genuine human understanding. Evidence-based practice matters, but so does feeling heard, respected, and understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, structured, and tailored to the individual sitting across from me.
