Dr Sofia Korsavva

Dr Sofia Korsavva is a psychiatrist with extensive multinational clinical and academic experience across the UK and Europe. She specialises in the assessment of adult ADHD and autism, with particular expertise in complex presentations involving trauma, addictions, neurodevelopmental conditions and forensic psychiatry.

Dr Korsavva has worked across a broad range of psychiatric settings, including general adult services, addictions services, forensic and secure environments and neurodevelopmental pathways. She also has significant experience in psychotherapeutic interventions and routinely integrates psychological formulation into her clinical assessments. Her practice is grounded in evidence-based medicine and careful differential diagnosis, particularly where ADHD co-exists with trauma-related conditions, substance use disorders or forensic histories.

Alongside her clinical expertise, Dr Korsavva brings lived professional insight as a neurodivergent clinician. This perspective informs her empathetic, nuanced and authentic understanding of neurodevelopmental differences, while supporting a rigorous and structured clinical approach.

Her doctoral and postgraduate research has focused on ADHD, addictions and complex post-traumatic stress disorder, with a strong emphasis on neurobiology, pharmacogenetics and the application of artificial intelligence in psychiatric research. She has authored and contributed to multiple academic publications and actively uses computational and artificial intelligence methods to support research into personalised and precision medicine. As part of her ongoing professional development, she has undertaken postgraduate specialist studies in Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics, alongside formal studies in international law and human rights through collaborations with leading academic institutions.

Before studying medicine, Dr Korsavva worked internationally in the design of complex IT infrastructures, artificial intelligence systems and robotics. This technical background continues to shape her research-led approach to psychiatry, particularly in the development of personalised treatment strategies for neurodevelopmental and trauma-related conditions.

Dr Korsavva combines a structured, analytical assessment style with a compassionate, patient-centred approach, ensuring that each individual receives a thorough, sensitive and tailored clinical evaluation.
