Dr Kiran Shetra is a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist with over 12 years of experience working across the NHS and third sector services.

Specialisms and areas of interest
Dr Kiran Shetra has a particular interest in working with teens, and in supporting individuals with identity, attachment and relationships.
Having struggled with my mental health since the age of 13, I have explored various routes including medication and NHS-funded therapy, but often came away feeling more unwell than when I started. I decided to try MOAI as a final attempt to retrain my brain.
Kiran helped me reconnect with who I used to be and rediscover who I truly am beneath the trauma and heartache I’ve experienced throughout much of my teenage and adult life. Over the course of my six sessions, I began to notice small, often subconscious changes in myself as a direct result of the time and care she dedicated to me.
Without this support, I feel I would have continued living with the weight of my past and in a constant state of low self-esteem. I would highly recommend MOAI as a service and have actively encouraged my team to take advantage of it.
In my opinion, MOAI is a service that we should absolutely continue to offer and make accessible to all members of staff.
