Clinical Psychologist 

My name is Lorna and I am a Clinical Psychologist, specialising in adult mental health. I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and chartered by the British Psychological Society. 

My first priority is always to provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to talk. I believe psychological therapy should ideally help you to discover your own unique strengths and resilience, as well as your challenges and how to overcome these. I specialise in helping people with various difficulties, including:

• Anxiety and stress
• Low mood and depression
• Generally feeling “stuck” 
• Relationship difficulties
• Bereavement and grief
• Trauma reactions (including PTSD or "complex trauma")
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Postnatal/Antenatal mental health issues
• Physical, sexual or emotional abuse
• Life changes or transitions
• Phobias

As a Clinical Psychologist, I am qualified to provide a number of evidence-based psychological therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy and Systemic Therapy.  Due to my extensive training, I am able to tailor the type of psychological therapy that I provide to best suit you as a unique individual. I often work with clients using Compassion Focused Therapy and/or Attachment-based Psychotherapy, which I find to be effective for many types of difficulties. I also provide trauma-focused therapy (including Trauma Focused CBT) and Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (no physical flexibility required). 

Getting Started 

I understand that it can be difficult to know what kind of psychological therapy might be helpful for you, or whether I will be a good fit for you as a Clinical Psychologist. I am therefore happy to provide a brief (up to 20 minutes) initial telephone consultation free of charge. This is an opportunity for us to see if we could work together.
