About me
Late sessions available weekdays 13.00-22.00. Flexible appointments are easily booked and paid for via my website. Please get in touch via the appointments page at www.drjackstroud.com for a free 30-minute consultation and we can see if I am the right person to help you.
I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 6 years of experience in both clinical and research environments. I have previously worked in the National Health Service (NHS) providing therapy to adults, including working for a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) specialist clinic.
I work with a wide range of anxiety and mood problems such as depression, OCD, stress, low self-esteem, burnout, persistent panic attacks, health anxiety, experiences of depersonalisation/derealisation and social anxiety. I will tell you if I do not think I am the right person to help you and provide onwards recommendations.
I specialise in cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and also provide narrative exposure therapy (NET). I have a particular interest and further experience in the following:
- Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Working with people who have experienced childhood sexual abuse, with or without PTSD symptoms
- People who are experiencing persistent distress following an adverse drug experience (e.g. a "bad trip")
- People who are experiencing persistent distress associated with an audiovestibular condition such as tinnitus.
I have also published several research articles in peer-reviewed academic journals. My research is focused on psychopharmacology (how drugs affect the mind) including the adverse effects of psychedelic drugs.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited

They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.

Further information
On a personal level, I know how hard it is to take the first step to contact a therapist. You can read many descriptions but nothing beats actually meeting the therapist and having a conversation. I recommend booking in at least two therapists for a first appointment and then seeing which one feels like the right fit. Please get in touch for a free 30-minute consultation and we can see if I am the right person to help you.
