Dr Charlotte Merriman

Hello, I'm Charlotte, Senior Clinical Psychologist & Interpersonal Psychotherapist. I have worked in the NHS for over 20 years in a range of specialist services including child development services, CAMHS, and physical health settings. My main areas of expertise are within child development, child & adolescent mental health, & parent coaching/support. I have also undertaken further training in Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) a highly effective NICE recommended therapy for depression (both adults & teenagers) & am specialist in supporting adults & young people with chronic health conditions such as ME/CFS and gastro conditions.

I bring a wealth of experience in working with young people & families, including behavioural difficulties, neuro-developmental differences, adjusting to physical health difficulties & supporting those with emotional / mental health difficulties. I also have a special interest in IPT for depression, and am a highly experienced clinical supervisor.

I recognise how overwhelming & scary it can feel to reach out to a psychologist or therapist for help. The most important thing is to find someone who you feel is a good fit for you. To help you with this I offer the option of a free no obligation 15 minute conversation where we can talk through the difficulties you are currently facing & what I may be able to offer.
