Profile

This is your time to talk and be listened to in a safe environment. What you say will be treated with respect and in a non judgemental manner. As a specialist in behaviour issuesDr Bishop has private practices in London's Harley Street and Stafford. As a Registered Therapist and Member of the British Association for Person Centred Approach (BAPCA), Child Psychologist (AChiPPP), a Chartered Psychologist who has spent many years involved in research and practical application of psychology, specialised in child psychology and communication, gained a PhD in research Psychology on counselling training for young people.  She has worked with leading charities and organisations on children's welfare issues, safeguarding and child protection research and training. In 2008 she was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts for her work with young people and continues to work with and support children and young people with welfare, behavioural and/or social issues. 

Throughout her work in the field, she began to see the long-term effects of taking childhood experiences into adulthood when no interventions were in place. As a Behavioural Psychologist Dr Bishop focuses on listening, discussing, exploring options, consider the issues and look at behaviour patterns that may be causing problems life.

"We often carry childhood burdens into adulthood and also the experiences of early adulthood can impact on the ability to cope and coping strategies.  Relationship problems often stem from our life experiences and our personalities as adults may well reflect both positive and negative elements of our childhood that can both help with resilience and, when missing, hinder coping. 

Stress, anxiety, panic attacks, behaviour issues come in many forms with many triggers and the approach I take is about looking at all of the pieces of the jigsaw and working with you to try and develop an understanding of yourself, triggers, your environment, your responses to certain situations and your ability to cope.  This works with both young people and adults.  The task between us both is to gain trust, a broader understanding of your issues and then develop coping strategies."

The basis of person-centred therapy is that our sessions are tailored to you. You can talk freely, and move at your pace. You can discuss all issues that are a concern. What may seem insurmountable can often be untangled and then become more manageable.  

When working with children with behavioural problems it is important to tailor the approach to that child and the environment in which the child lives and thrives.   

Behaviour issues for adults and children
Childhood sexual abuse or neglect
Relationship insecurities
Bullying
Self-confidence
Life choices
Goals
Re-focusing on who you are and where you would like to be.

All can be talked through and hopefully your problems become a little less dominating and a lot more in perspective.  Sometimes thinking through things that you have not been able to discuss fully and openly before and putting problems into words often helps to air and make sense of issues.  We also lose sight of our dreams and goals when there are concerns that take all focus of the future.  Sessions may be used to help you become more goal orientated in your thinking, focus back on your future, yourself, your life, your dreams. 

Life coaching is now the term for a small part of traditional goal orientated psychology, methods of coping and focusing on where you would like to be in one, two, three years time....We can sometimes forget where we are and who we are as life is lived.
