Research

Current Research

I have been deeply involved in research since 1998, conducting numerous studies across various topics. Currently, I am leading a study titled:

"Psycho-Social Challenges and Aspects of Bangladeshi Refugee in the United Kingdom"

This research explores the unique challenges faced by Bangladeshi refugees in the UK, examining psychological, social, and cultural factors that impact their integration and well-being.

My Approach

As a multilingual psychologist with multi-cultural experience, I can assess efficiently and provide culturally emotional sensitive service. I am aware of the psycho-social and cultural situation of Bangladesh and other nationals.

I have updated knowledge on cultural and emotional sensitive Psychometric tools and research which makes me more confident to prepare an Expert Psychological Report especially for Bangladeshi and South East Asia ethnic minorities.

My approach combines evidence-based techniques with compassionate care, creating a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. I believe in treating the whole person, not just symptoms.
