Dr Karen Halford

My training and experience enables me to utilise different approaches with different people, according to the current research evidence and taking into account an individual's preferences and needs. I often use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) to help people to move forward and overcome their problems, but I also draw on several other approaches including schema therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and compassion-focused approaches.

I have helped large numbers of people to make significant improvements in their lives, to enjoy their lives more and to feel better about themselves. I develop strong therapeutic relationships with people and work in a collaborative way.

I am Chartered by (and an Associate Fellow of) the British Psychological Society (BPS) and fully registered as a Clinical Psychologist by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
