"I worked with Dr Khan in a secondary care community mental health service in West London NHS Trust. She was a colleague and also became my supervisor. It was a privilege to work with her. She was so approachable, friendly and happy to guide and support me throughout our time together. As a supervisor she provided a safe and containing space to discuss clinical cases and my experiences in the therapy room. This allowed me to reflect on my decisions, highlight achievements, and think through learning in a non-judgmental way. Dr Khan was also a team player and a joy to work with, trauma-informed and person-centred."
