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. I have worked in NHS mental health services for over 20 years alongside more recently building my private practise.
My areas of expertise include eating disorders, anxiety disorders, self-harm, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, and self-esteem problems as well as providing support to parents in managing their children’s mental health difficulties.
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 work hard to build a supportive space and strong therapeutic relationship with the young people I work with. 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).
