Arian Wellbeing
Arian Wellbeing was founded by A&E doctor Dr Arian after recognising gaps in mental health support through both his clinical work and personal experience with trauma. Established in 2023, it provides culturally competent, trauma-informed care to underserved communities while supporting the resilience of frontline teams, working in partnership with organisations including the NHS, local authorities, and leading universities.
Working as an A&E doctor, Dr Arian began noticing the impact of the UK’s mental health crisis not just on his patients, but on the emergency and public sector staff working with them.
His own lived experience with trauma and PTSD, combined with clinical expertise, made the gaps in support clear to him.
To address this, he built on existing links with psychologists and expert physical trainers to create Arian Wellbeing in 2023. Arian Wellbeing provides a model of care that is both culturally competent and trauma-informed, supporting those who are too often overlooked by traditional systems. In addition, the Arian Wellbeing offer was developed to support and increase resilience among the teams working with these communities.
Working in partnership with government, healthcare organisations and academic organisations including both Cambridge and Oxford Universities, Arian Wellbeing quickly established itself as a trusted partner to NHS trusts, local councils and charities, delivering care to vulnerable communities across the UK and providing essential wellbeing support to the teams who support them.

Your use of technology to connect medics across the world is giving people injured in conflict access to the very best medical advice and support. You should be tremendously proud of the impact your work is having. I wish you every success as you grow the project to reach even more medical teams working in some of the most testing circumstances across the world.
I should like to express my sincere gratitude to you for having participated in the Global Hope Coalition Joint Action high-level panel discussion entitled "Women, Children and the Trauma of Extremism.
We felt deeply honored by your participation and appreciate the fact that you took your time to share your views.
We're getting a glimpse of the future here, and I think what Dr Arian is doing represents something very special. The art and the science of medicine know no national boundaries. If anyone exhibits that, then it's Waheed and his work.
What Dr Arian has achieved is nothing short of incredible. Drawing on his own life experiences as a refugee and also as a newly qualified doctor assisting medics in conflict zones, he has developed a totally new idea that uses easily accessible technology to save lives in some of the most challenging environments on earth.
I would like to sincerely thank Waheed for what his charity is doing. His work has saved the lives of many and he has proved that when people work together, even when it is across great distances and perhaps without ever meeting in person, we can achieve great things
