Olivia Gavin

I am a British trained Clinical Psychologist with a Degree in Psychology and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I have worked in a National Health Service (NHS) Child Development Centre in the UK, where I established new care pathways and provision for the assessment and diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD). In 2012, I moved to China with my family, where I worked for a world class multidisciplinary pediatric therapy center in Beijing. 

With over 15 years of experience in child, adolescent and family psychology, I use my expertise to work individually with children, parents and educational professionals to support the social emotional and behavioural needs that impact a child’s wellbeing across all settings. I have been part of GEMS JPS for nine years, working as a Wellbeing Teacher and Safeguarding Deputy. 

I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) in the UK and licensed with the Dubai Health Authority (DHA).
