LONG (ABOUT 150 WORDS)
Dhiren Doshi-Smith (he/they) is a queer, British Indian therapist, speaker, trainer and model based in London.
For years he was “fine”. Functioning, high achieving, keeping it together, and quietly performing a version of himself that felt safe. Anxiety, depression and a late ADHD diagnosis changed how he understood all of it, and he changed careers later in life to train as a person centred counsellor.
Today he’s a BACP registered counsellor at OakPath Therapy, working with queer, people of colour and neurodivergent adults. Through OakPath Impact, he speaks and trains on belonging, psychological safety, neurodiversity and mental health at work, for organisations including Lloyds Banking Group, JTI, Stonewall and AlixPartners. He’s an ambassador for ADHD UK, and has spoken on BBC Radio London and in Attitude.
His message is simple: people do their best work when they don’t have to hide.
