Natascha Basedau

I’m Natascha Basedau and I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I completed my clinical training at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa and have gained experience working as a clinical psychologist in a number of settings, with diverse patientgroups, in both South Africa and the UK. I am currently working clinically within a specialist NHS service for older people, and teaching as a senior lecturer on the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology programme at the University of Hertfordshire.
I have completed further post-qualification training in psychotherapy and neuropsychology, including a post-graduate Diploma in Clinical Neuropsychology at the University of Glasgow. My particular interests are working with the issues that present later in life, including adapting to a loss of functioning, making meaning in older age, and facing the challenges of increased dependency and bereavement, specialising in the assessment and treatment of dementia.
