About
Dr Paul Barrett
Founder and Director
DClinPsychol, MSc, BSc(Hons)
Clinical Psychologist
EMDR therapist
Systemic Practitioner
I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist and EMDR therapist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) with 20 years experience working in NHS and private practice. My qualifications are:
- BSc (Hons) Psychology. University of York
- MSc Psychology. Open University.
- Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (D.Clin.Psych) University of Staffordshire and Keele.
- Systemic Practitioner (intermediate level).
- EMDR Therapy (EMDR Europe Level 3 accreditation)
My areas of special interest and experience is in adult mental health, working with anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma, and difficulties with self-esteem. I have experience in working with clients with either short or long term difficulties.
I use EMDR and a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) approach, but do integrate other therapeutic models when required. This enables us to find a'best fit' approach based on your individual needs and preferences.
I offer a positive, non judgmental approach and work collaboratively with you to help understand your difficulties and find ways forward.
I offer appointments remotely only throughout the week.
