About me
Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression or low self esteem? Struggling to cope after a significant life event or trauma? Working with a Clinical Psychologist can help you find new ways to cope with life’s challenges and move forward.
I am an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist with nearly 20 years of experience working within psychological services in the NHS and private practice. I specialise in working with adults, offering online therapy to suit your needs. I have a specific interest in working with individuals who have experienced traumatic events, in particular those associated with living with physical health conditions and those experienced in relation to pregnancy and childbirth. My overriding goal is to support clients to develop helpful coping skills and move their lives in the direction they personally feel is most meaningful and rewarding.
I consider my approach to be compassionate, non-judgmental and collaborative and I draw upon a number of therapeutic models in my work, in particular ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement, Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy).
I know that the first steps to seeking therapy can often be difficult and it can be overwhelming when faced with the range of choices of available. If you have any questions about psychological therapy or the way I work please do reach out. Visit my website www.drbarrettpsychology.com for more information or contact me via email.
