I’m a consultant clinical psychologist with 30 years’ experience in frontline mental health services. I've created, developed and run a leading NHS service from scratch, and until recently I was a national specialty adviser to NHS England – the most senior clinical role in my field. I also have a small private practice, with a limited amount of slots available, open to people - often in midlife - who are feeling stuck in their work or relationships, and who want to change their lives for the better.
Mainly I’m offering a brief intervention to help people remember who they are & what they want from life, work out where things have gone wrong & what’s getting in their way, then make a plan for what to actually do about it. Deep down most of us know what we should do, but we don’t think we’re capable of doing it. Long story short: I'm pretty sure you are.
I see people for a maximum of three months, and sometimes only for a few sessions. This is because the main benefits of therapy tend to occur early on, with diminishing returns after this point. So while therapists are incentivised to keep people coming, this can be suboptimal for clients. It's not always complicated, sometimes you just need to do the thing.
