Neill Bartlett - online and in-person psychotherapist

I am a highly qualified and experienced psychotherapist returning to private practice after 17 years working at a senior level in specialist NHS settings. I have particular skills and experience in working with chronic pain, depression, anxiety and trauma. I am also very interested in helping people with problems related to overeating.

As a therapist, my approach to emotional and physical suffering is to try to help my patients confront their often long-standing problems whilst promoting self-acceptance and value-based action. An assumption I bring to my clinical practice is that in order to make lasting changes in our lives we need firstly to accept where we actually are. This can mean challenging some of the assumptions we might have about ourselves and perhaps about other people too. I always try to bring a sense of openness, of curiosity and of compassion to the therapeutic process.

I have a diverse range of influences in my work and don't think of any model of therapy as the best in an unqualified way. I registered as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist with the UKCP in 2003. Subsequently, I have studied contemporary forms of cognitive-behavioural therapy at Oxford and Bangor universities. I have a post-graduate qualification in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and have trained in acceptance and commitment therapy to an advanced level.

As an online therapist, I use zoom as my principal platform. I am proficient at using StarLeaf in my NHS work.

In 2021, I will complete an MA in Philosophy with the Open University.

I am in regular clinical supervision.

PLEASE NOTE: My consulting room is up one small flight of stairs.
