Dr. Imasogie – Consultant Psychiatrist | Advocate for Integrative, Neurodiversity-Affirming Mental Health Care

Dr. Imasogie is a highly skilled and deeply compassionate psychiatrist with a longstanding dedication to promoting mental health and neurodiversity through a holistic, evidence-informed approach. She is recognised for her commitment to delivering person-centred care that empowers individuals and families, and for her ability to integrate medical, psychological, and social perspectives into meaningful, practical treatment.

Rooted in a science-based and integrative framework, Dr. Imasogie's practice is shaped by the belief that healing and wellbeing require more than symptom management. Her work focuses on understanding the underlying factors that contribute to distress or dysfunction—biological, developmental, psychological, and environmental—so that treatment is not only effective but also sustainable and aligned with each person’s lived experience.

Collaborative, Personalised Psychiatry

Dr. Imasogie is known for her collaborative style, working closely with patients, families, carers, schools, and other professionals to co-create comprehensive care plans. She places a strong emphasis on shared decision-making, recognising the unique strengths, values, and goals of each individual. Her approach prioritises therapeutic relationships built on trust, empathy, and respect—essential foundations for recovery and resilience.

Each care plan she develops is tailored to the individual’s specific needs and context, integrating a range of modalities such as medication management, psychological therapies, behavioural strategies, and psychoeducation. This flexible, whole-person approach ensures that care remains person-focused rather than diagnosis-driven.

Expertise in Neurodevelopmental and Mental Health Disorders

Dr. Imasogie has particular expertise in the assessment and management of neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). She brings a neurodiversity-affirming lens to her work, aiming to reduce stigma and support individuals in understanding their profiles, celebrating their strengths, and navigating challenges with dignity.

Her work in this area is grounded in current research, lived experience narratives, and clinical best practices. She is experienced in conducting comprehensive assessments that are sensitive to gender, culture, trauma history, and the often-overlooked internal presentations of neurodevelopmental differences, particularly in girls and young women. Her formulations take into account sensory processing differences, executive functioning profiles, co-occurring mental health difficulties, and family dynamics.

Beyond neurodevelopmental work, Dr. Imasogie is highly experienced in managing a broad spectrum of psychiatric conditions, including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and emotional dysregulation. Her dual grounding in medical and psychosocial models allows her to navigate complex presentations and comorbidities with clinical precision and genuine compassion.

Supporting Children, Adolescents, and Adults Across the Lifespan

Dr. Imasogie has worked extensively across both Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and adult psychiatry, giving her a unique insight into the developmental pathways of mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions. This breadth of experience enhances her ability to provide continuity of care and to offer nuanced, developmentally informed support.

Whether working with a young child just beginning to struggle at school, a teenager navigating identity and emotional regulation, or an adult reflecting on lifelong neurodivergence, Dr. Imasogie adapts her approach to meet each individual where they are. She also works closely with parents and carers, offering guidance, reassurance, and education that enhances family understanding and wellbeing.

A Trauma-Informed, Culturally Sensitive Perspective

Understanding that mental health is shaped by more than biology, Dr. Imasogie approaches her work with a trauma-informed and culturally aware lens. She recognises the impact of early adverse experiences, social disadvantage, identity-related stressors, and systemic barriers on emotional development and psychological safety.

In every assessment and treatment process, she takes care to honour a person's story, context, and cultural background, creating a therapeutic space that is inclusive and empowering. Her work often involves supporting individuals with complex psychosocial histories, including those in care systems, with histories of neglect or abuse, or from marginalised communities.

Kindness, Integrity, and Clinical Excellence

At the heart of Dr. Imasogie's practice is a deep respect for the people she works with. She is known for her warmth, patience, and ability to create a safe and containing space where individuals feel heard and validated. Her patients and colleagues alike often comment on her calm, thoughtful presence and her ability to bring clarity and hope to complex situations.

As a clinician, she brings both intellectual rigour and emotional intelligence to her work, balancing clinical evidence with a genuine interest in the whole person. Her formulations are thorough and insightful, integrating diverse sources of information into cohesive, actionable plans.

Ongoing Professional Development and Thought Leadership

Dr. Imasogie remains actively engaged in continuing professional development and the broader conversation around mental health innovation. She stays current with advances in neuroscience, psychopharmacology, trauma-informed care, and neurodiversity research, continually refining her practice to ensure that it reflects the most up-to-date understanding of mental health and wellbeing.

She is also passionate about advocacy, education, and systemic change. Whether through mentoring, presenting at conferences, or contributing to service development, she strives to improve access to compassionate, inclusive, and effective mental health care for all.
