Meet Dr. Anthony Ataekong

Hi, I’m Dr. Anthony, an award-winning, licensed mental health professional with over a decade of experience across the biological, psychological, and social models of care.

My approach combines deep expertise with genuine empathy to help you navigate life’s challenges and achieve lasting mental well-being.

My journey into mental health care began with a deeply personal experience.

Supporting a loved one through a severe mental health challenge, I witnessed not only the emotional toll but also the systemic barriers within the healthcare system and the impact of life challenges.

This experience opened my eyes to the profound impact of mental health struggles not just on individuals, but on families and inspired my passion that led to my transitioning from Medicine to Psychological therapy.

Since then, I have dedicated my career to bridging gaps in understanding, addressing social causes of mental illness, and advocating for care systems that treat the whole person, not just their symptoms.

Professionally, I am accredited by BABCP and practice as a licensed specialist psychological therapist, providing psychological assessments and evidence-based psychological treatments for a wide range of mental health disorders enriched by my multidisciplinary background in medicine, psychology, and psychosocial studies.

This integrated perspective allows me to provide care that's both scientifically grounded and deeply humanistic, with deep empathy, ensuring that each client receives care that addresses not just their symptoms, but their whole person and is tailored to individual needs.

From complex trauma and PTSD to navigating life transitions, my integrative approach is designed to meet you where you are and support your unique journey.

What sets my practice apart is the seamless integration of clinical excellence with genuine human connection.

Drawing from my background spanning medicine (MBBS, University of Uyo), psychological therapy (BABCP Accredited, University of Sussex), and mental health/psychosocial support services (MSc, Queen Margaret University), I offer a sophisticated yet accessible approach to mental wellbeing.

Whether you’re seeking to overcome psychological hurdles, navigating life transitions, supporting a loved one, or exploring your own deeper purpose, I’m here to help.

Schedule your initial consultation, and experience premium psychological care that's as nuanced as your own journey and let's explore how my multidisciplinary approach can support your path to lasting mental health and personal growth where evidence-based practices meet genuine understanding and support.
