Dr Lorna Hobbs
About me
I'm a Chartered Clinical Psychologist committed to providing therapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. I take a collaborative approach; providing my clients with sensitivity and understanding, while helping them build insight around their struggles and take steps towards positive change.
I take an integrative approach to therapeutic work, using evidence-based techniques that focus on the relationship between how we think and feel, helping clients to develop compassionate ways to understand themselves and their issues, and also guide them to identify their values, strengths and skills so they may effectively confront their problems. As such, I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT), Narrative Therapy, and Systemic Therapy.
I specialise in working with adolescents and adults and work regularly with individuals struggling with anxiety and depression. I also maintain expertise in working with those struggling their sexuality, gender identity, and issues around sexual health and women’s health. Additionally, I offer clinical supervision in gender identity work. I work within the NHS as well as in private practice.
