About
Dr. Millia Begum is a UK-trained Consultant Psychiatrist and senior trauma therapist with more than 25 years of experience in the field of mental health. She is DHA-licensed in Dubai, GMC-registered in the UK, and a Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists (MRCPsych), remaining in good professional standing with the College.
Her clinical journey began within the National Health Service (NHS) Scotland, where she worked for over two decades across a wide range of psychiatric and psychological services. Early in her career, she developed a deep interest in the lasting impact of trauma, attachment wounds, and adverse life experiences on emotional wellbeing, relationships, identity, and the nervous system.
In 2002, she became one of the earlier clinicians in the UK trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy. Since then, she has spent over twenty years working extensively with traumatised individuals using integrative, trauma-focused approaches.
Dr. Millia offers both psychiatric and psychotherapeutic care for individuals aged 16 and above. Many clients value the continuity of working with one clinician who can integrate psychological therapy alongside medication management where appropriate. This integrated approach often reduces fragmentation of care and supports a more cohesive therapeutic journey.
Her work is grounded in creating a safe, compassionate, and respectful therapeutic space where clients feel deeply heard and understood. She believes healing occurs not only through symptom reduction, but through helping individuals process overwhelming experiences, reconnect with themselves, and develop greater emotional and nervous system regulation.
Her approach is holistic and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on using the minimum necessary medication whenever possible. Treatment plans are carefully tailored to the individual and may integrate psychiatry, psychotherapy, attachment-focused work, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle considerations.
Dr. Millia specialises in Complex Trauma, PTSD, attachment trauma, dissociation, and stress-related conditions. Her primary therapeutic models include Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR Therapy, and other neurobiologically informed approaches to trauma healing.
