About Formulate

Tarun Vermani

Founder & DClinPsy Trainee

Hi, I'm Tarun — a trainee clinical psychologist at UCL, and the person behind Formulate. I'm passionate about how digital tools can help clients genuinely engage with and complete therapy, not just attend sessions. That's what drove me to build this.

My current research looks at how digital intervention frameworks can improve the assessment and treatment of depression — and Formulate grew directly out of that work. My MSc thesis explored using digital tools to map depression symptoms, which confirmed what I'd been thinking: technology can genuinely enhance how therapy works, when it's built with clinical understanding.

When I'm not in clinic or working on Formulate, you'll usually find me hunting for good coffee, planning my next trip somewhere, or trying to convince myself that a long walk counts as exercise.
