Approach

Dr Az Hakeem is a Consultant Psychiatrist, Medical Psychotherapist and Group Analyst working with THE BALANCE. His clinical work includes psychiatric assessment and treatment, medical psychotherapy and the assessment of adult ADHD.

His medical education at University College London was followed by specialist psychotherapy training at the Tavistock and Portman and postgraduate study in group analysis at Birkbeck. His existing professional profile lists London and Wimbledon practice locations and an academic association with UCL Medical School.

He works with a range of mental-health and addiction presentations. His stated addiction remit excludes opiate and GHB/GBL addiction, so assessment and suitability need to reflect the individual presentation and his scope of practice.
