There are lots of trained counsellors, therapists

There are lots of trained counsellors, therapists and psychologists out there, some regulated and some not. It can feel a tricky landscape to navigate...raising questions such as who do I choose? and what does it all mean?

Here's some info about the training and requirements needed to call yourself a clinical psychologist...I hope you find it helpful!

🌊Clinical Psychologists are trained in different therapeutic models and evidence-based interventions to both understand and reduce distress.
🌊They work across the lifespan, in different settings and can support a wide range of presenting difficulties.
🌊The title Clinical Psychologist is a protected title by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) which means that only those who are accredited, and have completed an approved doctoral training course, can call themselves a Clinical Psychologist.
🌊The doctorate in Clinical Psychology is a practitioner doctorate involving clinical placements, research and academic assignments. It is an extensive and rigorous training programme that includes lots of live observation, assessment and practical application.
🌊Many Clinical Psychologists have lots of experience supporting emotional wellbeing prior to starting their doctoral training and may have additional post-graduate qualifications too.

Any questions pop them below and I'll do my best to answer!

In one of the therapeutic approaches I use, values

In one of the therapeutic approaches I use, values are likened to a compass that helps direct our behaviour and life. Values are not goals or end points but more a way of being.

The values I bring to my work here are Waves Psychology are:

Collaborative -To always work with, and alongside, you. We will combine our experience, strengths and skills to achieve your goals.

Person centred -I will strive to build an understanding of you as an individual so that your unique preferences, choices and needs guide our work together.

Proactive -To take initiative and work in a preventative way. I want positive wellbeing to be a long-term possibility for you, your service or family.

Compassionate -Empathy, kindness and respect are at the heart of how I approach my work and the therapeutic relationships I build.

Creative - To think outside the box and find innovative ways to engage and problem solve.

Curious - I will reflect and wonder with you. By being open-minded we can learn together and develop different perspectives.

So why does this matter? I hope that sharing my values gives you a sense of who I am and the compass I will be using in our work together. I believe that staying connected to these values, will help empower you to move your life in meaningful directions.... even in the face of difficulty or challenge.

My aim is to improve children's wellbeing both within, and outside, the family. That's why I offer three types of psychological support including direct therapeutic work, consultation and training.

Hi I'm Amber, mother of two, avid knitter, a very-slow runner and a clinical psychologist.

I've supported children, young people and families across a range of settings and services including mental health, physical health and education settings. I feel passionately about supporting children's wellbeing and believe real change occurs both inside and outside a therapy room. That's why alongside direct therapeutic work I also work with families, services and organisations ...with the hope of improving the environment (and world) our children live in.

My specialist areas of interest are supporting children, young people and families adjust to a new, or pre-existing, health condition. I also feel strongly about ensuring equal access to psychological support for autistic children and children with learning disabilities or additional needs.

I don't take for granted the enormous privilege it is to be invited into the lives of the families I work with. I believe my role is to work with you to help identify, and develop, the unique strengths and resilience I believe all families have.

Being human means that at various points in our lives we all have to navigate stormy waters. As a child or young adult it can feel like these storms are throwing you off course or causing you to feel overwhelmed and distressed. As a family trying your best, it can feel tricky to know how to help and parents or carers may need support too.

Waves Psychology offers psychological therapy, consultation and training to help children, young people and families live a meaningful and enjoyable life.
