About Dr Yasmine Olabi
I’m a Specialist Paediatric Clinical Psychologist working across paediatric healthcare, physical health and international care.
Alongside my private practice, I work at Great Ormond Street Hospital, supporting children, young people and families navigating complex health conditions and treatment. I work closely with multidisciplinary teams and have extensive experience supporting international families within paediatric healthcare.
My clinical expertise includes persistent physical symptoms, chronic pain and fatigue, gastrointestinal difficulties, anxiety, and adjustment to illness and treatment.
Beyond individual clinical work, my interests include international healthcare, culturally responsive practice, and bringing psychological thinking into healthcare teams and services through consultation, training, reflective practice and service development.
My approach draws on CBT, ACT, systemic and narrative practices, with particular attention to culture, language, relationships and the knowledge children and families bring to their care.
