Meet the Team
As Clinical Psychologists, we work with a range of mental health problems and emotional needs to try and reduce distress and support psychological and emotional wellbeing. Clinical Psychologists can draw upon a range of psychological therapies and approaches when working with individuals and families. We are trained to doctorate level and are specialist in working with psychological issues. We are registered with the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC) and have completed further post qualification in psychological assessment and psychological intervention.
Our Assistant Psychologists also work with a range of psychological needs and issues, though they are at a different stage in their training and career, having completed a degree in psychology (BSc) and/or a master’s degree in the field of psychology. Assistant Psychologists work under the supervision of Dr Kate Baldry and are still in training to become fully qualified. They continue to complete training to develop their skills and knowledge and assist the practice in delivering psychological services, in addition to working directly with some clients, adults and children, when it is appropriate for them to do so.
