Our team
A consultant-led team, online across Ireland.
MindBridge Medical was founded in Dublin in 2025 by a consultant psychiatrist. Every assessment, diagnosis and treatment plan is made under his clinical governance, with psychologists and counsellors working alongside him.
“If you've ever felt stuck between wanting help and not knowing how to reach it, I hope MindBridge Medical can feel, for you, like the first step across that bridge.”
Dr Shaeraine Raaj
Founder & Consultant Psychiatrist · MD · MRCPsych · MCPsychI · MSc Healthcare Management (RCSI) · HDip Medical Education (NUIG) · IMC 409852, Specialist Division
Dr Raaj has more than twelve years of Irish clinical experience in psychiatry, across inpatient, community and day-hospital settings, including posts as liaison psychiatrist and PICU psychiatrist. His expertise is in general adult psychiatry, adult ADHD, neuropsychiatry, medication review and medico-legal reports. He completed specialist training in ADHD assessment through the UK Adult ADHD Network (UKAAN), and his RCSI Master's dissertation was on developing and introducing an adult ADHD clinic.
He holds a formal qualification in medical education, has lectured and tutored medical students at University College Dublin and RCSI, examined psychiatry rotations, and mentors doctors preparing for their psychiatry examinations.
Founded in Dublin. Built for the whole country.
MindBridge Medical exists to make expert psychiatric care reachable for adults across the Republic of Ireland, especially those in rural areas or facing long waiting lists for specialist services. Consultations are by secure video call, so there is no travel and no waiting room.
Psychiatric consultations are conducted by a consultant psychiatrist registered with the Irish Medical Council and a member of both the College of Psychiatrists of Ireland and the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Around him is a multidisciplinary team: a Senior Psychologist, a Clinical Psychologist, an Addiction Counsellor and Assistant Psychologists, with a Service Manager as your first point of contact.

Most of our work happens on a video call. Some of it happens in person, talking with people about ADHD where they are. The photos and videos below are ours from the day.
Hell & Back, Wicklow

The team spent time on Grafton Street, Dublin, speaking with members of the public about ADHD in adults: hearing people's perspectives, answering questions and making conversations about neurodivergence more open and approachable.
