Dr. Lorna Kerr (CPsychol, PhD, DClinPsy)

I am a Clinical Psychologist, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and chartered by the British Psychological Society. My qualifications include:

• Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (University of Exeter)
• PhD in Psychology (University of Southampton)
• MSc in Research Methods in Psychology (University of Southampton)
• BA Social Psychology (University of Sussex)

I have experience of helping people with difficulties including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, body dysmorphia, eating disorders, trauma, difficult early experiences in life, and family or relationship difficulties. In addition, I have expertise in helping people who are struggling with persistent or chronic pain. I am trained in a number of psychological therapies and I provide one-to-one yoga therapy.

A good therapeutic relationship between therapist and client is an essential part of successful therapy. Therefore my first priority is always to provide a safe, confidential and supportive space for you. From there we can work together to help you to address the issues that brought you to therapy.

In addition to being a Clinical Psychologist, I am a Yoga Teacher. I completed a 200 hour "Yoga for Health" teacher training course, which included training in Applied Anatomy and Physiology, Teaching Methodology, Asana, Pranayama, Meditation, Visualisation and the Philosophy of Yoga. Having practised yoga for over a decade, I am passionate about sharing the benefits of yoga with others.
