What training is required to be a Clinical Psychologist?

Clinical Psychologists qualify by undertaking a doctoral qualification involving both research and supervised clinical practice.

What to expect when consulting a Clinical Psychologist?

During the first session the Clinical Psychologist will typically gather information and explore ideas with the client to gain a comprehensive understanding of the situation. They will then present an initial assessment and ideas about how to assist. If the client is happy with this approach a plan will be made to meet for a set number of sessions to work on specified goals.

What will happen when I contact you?

I will provide a free telephone consultation where we will discuss your concerns and I will explain how I work. I will also present alternative avenues for support e.g. local CAMHS service. You will be advised to explore all the options and give me a call back if you wish to arrange an initial appointment.

What are your fees?

Fees are available on request. I am also authorised by a range of healthcare providers if you wish to claim on your private health insurance.
