Dr Saima Ali

Dr Saima Ali is a GP and neurodiversity specialist with a focus on neurodevelopmental assessments, mental health, and women's ADHD. Having worked in the NHS since 2005 and as a GP since 2012, she brings a wealth of clinical experience and a warm, person-centred approach to her work.

Her clinical interests include ADHD in women and how it presents differently (often remaining unrecognised until adulthood), "below the neck" manifestations of ADHD exploring connections to weight, metabolism, and gastrointestinal health, and the integration of psychological and physical dimensions of neurodevelopmental conditions.

Dr Ali creates a safe and validating space for patients to explore their experiences. Her portfolio includes neurodevelopmental assessments specialising in ADHD and autism, plus work as a GP consultant supporting multidisciplinary teams in private practice.

Her overall aim is to promote better recognition of neurodiversity within healthcare and to bridge the gap between mental and physical health.
