I am a HCPC Registered Clinical Psychologist and accredited Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) Practitioner with 18 years' experience working clinically within the NHS across community, acute mental health inpatient, and secure forensic settings.
I set up LJS Psychology to offer something different: thoughtful, personalised therapy that takes the time to really understand you and the patterns that shape your life.
Starting therapy can feel daunting. Here is exactly what to expect from the moment you get in touch.
A 15-minute call to talk through what brings you to therapy and whether we are a good fit. No commitment required.
We explore your difficulties together and build a shared formulation, an understanding of where they come from and what might help.
Weekly or fortnightly sessions, online or in person, working collaboratively toward meaningful, lasting change. Reviewed regularly throughout.
My primary approach. CAT is structured, collaborative and time-limited, helping you understand patterns in thoughts, feelings and relationships.
