My name is Shakeel Islam, and I am a dedicated Consultant Psychiatrist specialising in Intellectual Disabilities (ID) with a particular focus on Autism. With over 12 years of experience, I have been working within the National Health Service (NHS) since 2009, serving individuals with diverse needs across the country.

​

Currently, I am proud to be a part of a leading mental health trust in London, where I continue to provide specialised care and support to individuals with Intellectual Disabilities and Autism. I am deeply committed to helping individuals understand and navigate their unique challenges, promoting their well-being and overall quality of life.

​

I believe in a person-centred approach, tailoring interventions and support to meet each individual's specific needs. Through my compassionate and comprehensive assessments, I strive to provide accurate diagnoses that address the unique strengths and difficulties of each individual.

​

I am dedicated to staying up-to-date with the latest research and developments in the field of Autism and Intellectual Disabilities, ensuring that my practice is informed by evidence-based approaches.

My ultimate goal is to make a positive difference in the lives of individuals on the Autism spectrum and their families.

Outside of my professional work, I am proud to be a father of three wonderful children who bring immense joy to my life.
