Dr Michelle Zandvoort (CPsychol)

Profile

In my practice as a Chartered Psychologist I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), in accordance with current national clinical guidelines such as those produced by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE). My training and experience as a Psychologist enables me to integrate other therapeutic approaches and clinically-proven interventions according to clients individual needs and research evidence.

In addition I am fully trained as an EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) practitioner. This enables me to apply this approach to trauma-related difficulties.

Currenlty, I am the clinical director for a residential treatment service for healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurses, dentists, and other healthcare professionals / professionals struggling with substance dependency/addictions and/or mental health difficulties.
