About me
Dr Sarah Woods, Principal Clinical Psychologist, Doctor of Clinical Psychology (2008). EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner, HCPC registered Practitioner Psychologist and member of the Expert Witness Institute. I am the founder of North East Psychology, a group of experienced psychologists offering appointments face to face in Northumberland and online.
Are you looking for CBT, EMDR or acceptance and commitment therapy? Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, symptoms of trauma (PTSD) or adjustment to physical health problems? Or perhaps you feel stuck and feel life has lost some meaning for you. I can help you understand why you feel this way and help you learn new coping skills to move forwards. Over the years, I have helped many people reach their goals, heal from trauma and overcome difficulties. Making changes can be hard but improving our well being and truly connecting with the important things in life can make us feel fulfilled and increase satisfaction.
I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist. I qualified in 2008 and before that worked in psychology in the NHS from 2003. I have managed NHS psychology teams and supervise other psychologists in their work. I hold a degree in psychology and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. Since qualifying I have achieved advanced training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a CBT based approach and I am an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy, EMDR).
I draw on my training but also my experience inside and out of work to help you find the best way forward. I work with people to really understand where problems might stem from, what triggers them and what keeps them going. I give people skills and tools to use outside of sessions, so you have skills to self manage and self soothe. I use EMDR to heal emotional difficulties and unhook from the past.
Sessions are available in quiet and comfortable consulting rooms in the centre of Morpeth. Sessions are also available online, which can fit around busy schedules. Please get in touch to book your free initial consultation.
