Dr Liz White, Consultant Clinical Psychologist

About me

About me

I am a highly experienced HCPC registered Consultant Clinical Psychologist. I have over 17 years experience of working in mental health settings, and I qualified in 2007. I am chartered with the British Psychological Society (CPsychol), a chartered scientist with the Science Council (CSci) and an associate fellow with the British Psychological Society (AFBPsS).

I am passionate about the work that I do and alongside my private practice I hold a Head of Service position in a secondary care NHS service. In this role I provide clinical leadership and manage a team of qualified and pre-qualified psychologists. I am a visiting lecturer on the Doctoral Clinical Psychology programme at the University of Hertfordshire and I am professional mentor to clinical psychology trainees.

In my private practice I offer psychological assessment and treatment to people over 18 years of age. I have expertise in working with a range of difficulties and have a special interest in helping clients manage anxiety, depression/low mood, low self esteem/self confidence. My work is multi-modal, and I draw on many different psychological models and therapies to get the best outcome for each client. I have expertise in cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy, compassion focused therapy, mindfulness and psychodynamic approaches.

I believe in empowering clients to make changes and I work in a compassionate, respectful and professional way. I emphasise to clients that therapy is collaborative, in which working as a team together is key to creating meaningful change.
