Mohammad Javad Shomali

Trainee psychodynamic therapist with a background in pastoral care, academic research, and psychology. Over a decade of experience in spiritual leadership has cultivated strong skills in empathic listening, emotional containment, and working with individuals in distress. Complemented by a PhD from Cambridge and further study in psychology and neuroscience, I bring intellectual rigour alongside emotional sensitivity. Currently undertaking the PGDip in Psychodynamic Practice at Oxford, I am seeking a placement to deepen clinical experience and contribute thoughtfully to therapeutic work within a relational and reflective framework.
