About me
My name is Dr. Jennifer Godding. I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist specialising in working with children and young people and their families. I also work with young adults between the ages of 18-25 years.
My areas of expertise include child and family work, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, self-harm, depression and self-esteem problems as well as providing support to parents in managing young children’s anxiety.
I use a variety of evidence based and National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommended therapies in my work including; Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT-A), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).
I am experienced in understanding and developing personalised formulations for my client's difficulties. I use integrative approaches to therapy where appropriate, bringing together different elements of specific therapies to suit individual needs. I am committed to helping the young people with whom I work, particularly in these challenging times of COVID-19. I especially value the opportunity to play a role in supporting young people to make changes which may benefit their future lives.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Southampton in 2009 and have since worked for the NHS in local CAMHS services for 13 years. I hold a BA in Applied Psychology (University of Sussex, 2003) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Evidence Based Psychological Therapies for Children and Young People (University of Reading, 2014).
I am an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society and a Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC) certified practitioner (PYL 20416).
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
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.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
