Jenny Noero Consultant Clinical & Counselling Psychologist

Stressed, anxious, depressed? Relationship difficulties?

Do you find it hard to cope with all the demands on you? Do you feel stressed, anxious, panicked, worried, or feel tired, down and unmotivated, or all of this?  Is your relationship (or relationships) a source of unhappiness?  As an experienced Consultant Psychologist, these are amongst the range of difficulties I can help with.  I aim to listen with care and respect to the issues you bring to therapy and offer a a confidential, discreet and supportive place for you, or both of you, to explore the difficulties that brought you to therapy and to find ways to change things.

How I work and what I do: Psychological Therapy

I am a qualified Counselling Psychologist and in addition a qualified Clinical Psychologist.  As a Counselling Psychologist I have undertaken specialist training in psychological therapy.  This included learning to work in an integrative way with more than one therapeutic modality.  As a Clinical Psychologist I have been trained to work with a wide range of mental health, psychological and emotional difficulties across the spectrum of complexity.  I have also been employed as a Consultant Psychologist in the NHS.

I work with adults of all ages, from working age to after retirement, and offer psychological therapy to individuals and couples.  Areas I work with include depression, anxiety disorders (generalised anxiety, panic, OCD, phobias, social anxiety), interpersonal and relationship issues, stress, health related issues, pain, low self-esteem, PTSD and trauma, bereavement and loss, memory problems and neurological conditions, including dementia.

The main therapeutic approaches I use are Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused and Person Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy.  I often work in an integrative way, using more than one therapy.  Ultimately the approach will depend on the problem or problems you bring to therapy, what you feel you need and the psychological formulation of your difficulties.

Person-centred counselling for life challenging events such as bereavement, loss, the impact of illness, times of transition (including retirement), adjustment and crisis and carer burden is also available.

What to expect from your first session

If you do decide to go ahead, our first session will give us the opportunity to meet and discuss the problems troubling you in detail.  The session will be aimed at  assessing the nature of these difficulties to allow me to gain enough understanding so that I can suggest the best approach to meet your needs.  We will agree on some basic "housekeeping" such as finalising arrangements about how often we will meet, payment, cancellation and rescheduling etc.  I will try to make this as comfortable and useful a process as possible for you.
