@emilytelami
Integrative psychotherapist at Emily Telami Therapy and former UBS AI learning program leader, bringing clinical practice and digital mental health together.
What I'm looking for
At Emily Telami Therapy and Surbiton Counselling, I provide long- and short-term integrative psychotherapy for individuals and couples, and supervise qualified therapists. My work is grounded in relational psychoanalysis and includes trauma, complex PTSD, anxiety, depression and loss.
At UBS, I led the design and delivery of learning programs to build organisational readiness for GenAI, machine learning and emerging technologies. I also directed international teams delivering AI and emerging-technology proofs of concept, drawing on my MSc in Artificial Intelligence and technology experience.
In 2023, I founded Play2, a charity providing classical guitar education and an annual festival for young people in Yerevan, Armenia. I’d love to bring my clinical and technology experience together in digital mental health, workplace wellbeing or clinical training.
