Clinical psychologists undergo rigorous training that lasts at least 6 years - an undergraduate degree and a three-year doctoral programme. Training combines the depth of academic theory with extensive hands-on clinical experience and requires the development of technical expertise, emotional resilience and ethical sensitivity. Clinical psychologists are highly trained professionals. We work to improve mental wellbeing and reduce psychological distress by: ​ Improving the psychological health & performance of individuals, families, organisations & communities through skilled, knowledge-based services; Innovating in response to clients’ needs & thereby developing applications of psychology & related disciplines; Designing, developing & supporting accessible services to support these innovations. ​ We provide evidence-based assessments and interventions across a wide range of healthcare services, and supervision and consultancy to colleagues from a variety of disciplines. We work to alleviate psychological distress by using advanced skills in a variety of different therapeutic models, including cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic and systemic therapies and community approaches. We also routinely undertake research and service evaluation, contributing to the current state of knowledge in our field. ​ We offer a bespoke approach to assessment and intervention, putting relationships with clients and the client perspective at the centre of our work. We aim to fit our approach to clients rather than the other way round. We regard formulation, or the in-depth understanding of clients and their difficulties, as key to informing a successful psychological intervention. Although we are well-versed in the medical model and its application to psychological problems, we question an exclusive focus on this approach and offer a psychological perspective to broaden and improve understanding and treatment efficacy.

The length of treatment for psychological problems will vary from one individual to another. Essentially, the treatment (type and duration) should always be matched appropriately to the nature and severity of the person's presenting difficulties. Acute difficulties usually require fewer treatment sessions than do chronic conditions. Moreover, length of treatment also varies with the type of treatment provided; cognitive behavioural treatments, which focus on a specific problem, are generally briefer than are psychotherapies with a broader focus. ​ We can discuss this when you email to make an enquiry.
