Dr Ritika ‘Ritz’ Suk Birah is a highly respected keynote speaker and Consultant Counselling Psychologist at Ramsay Health Care UK, known for helping organisations build resilient, high-performing teams. With a background in neuroscience and nearly two decades of clinical experience, Ritz brings both scientific depth and real-world understanding to her work. She has worked extensively across NHS services and private healthcare, giving her a clear view of how pressure, stress, and burnout impact performance. This foundation allows her to deliver insights that are not only credible, but immediately useful in demanding workplace environments.
Ritz is also the Founder of Reflect with Dr Ritz, widely recognised as the UK’s first WhatsApp-based journalling platform designed to make psychological tools accessible in everyday life. This innovation highlights her ability to translate complex psychological theory into simple, practical solutions that people can apply consistently. Alongside this, she leads her own practice, Dr Ritika Consulting, Wellbeing and Therapies, where she supports individuals, leaders, and organisations in developing sustainable habits, improving mindset, and strengthening emotional resilience.
As a speaker, Ritz is trusted by leading global organisations including Lloyds Bank, Oliver Wyman, and Fitbit. Her sessions focus on resilience, burnout, leadership, and performance under pressure, all delivered through a clear and structured approach. She equips audiences with practical frameworks that improve decision-making, strengthen communication, and support long-term wellbeing. A simple example she shares is how small behavioural shifts, such as structured daily routines, can significantly improve focus, energy, and consistency across a working week.
Ritz is also a recognised media voice, having been featured in Vogue, Fortune Magazine, and Psychologies Magazine, as well as appearing on BBC News and contributing to national conversations around mental health and wellbeing.
