THERAPY

Our team are all trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and have additional training in a range of different therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Behavioural Couples Therapy (BCT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). We will work with you to think about the best approach to fit your needs.

Therapy will always start with a thorough assessment to help us develop a good understanding of the issues you would like support with. We will then work together to develop a flexible treatment plan, based both on the most up to date evidence and research, as well as thinking about your personal needs, experiences and preferences.

In order to maintain the highest quality and standards, our team all attend regular clinical supervision, continuing professional development and training. We adhere to the professional codes of ethics and conduct set out by the British Psychological Society and Health and Care Professions Council.

Following changes made due to the Covid-19 pandemic, all of our therapy sessions moved online. We have discovered this way of working to be preferable to many of our perinatal clients due to the flexibility of appointment times and the ability to fit treatment in around very busy schedules. It also allows us to recruit specialist psychologists around the country and offer treatment to clients without the limits of geographical location. We have taken the decision to continue with online therapy for the foreseeable future. All sessions are carried out via Zoom.

Supervision

The clinicians at the Perinatal Psychology Practice have extensive experience in the provision of supervision for trainee and qualified psychologists. We deliver tailor made supervision in a number of models for work with those in the perinatal period.
