Dr Charlotte Merriman (my pronouns are She/Her)

Hello, I'm Charlotte, a highly experienced Senior Clinical Psychologist, Interpersonal Psychotherapist and Psychological Coach. I have worked in the NHS for 25 years in a range of settings including child development services, CAMHS, and physical health settings, and am currently an Honorary Lecturer, Coach and Clinical Tutor on the University of Sheffield Doctorate in Clinical Psychology training course. 

My main areas of expertise are within child development, child and adolescent mental health, parent coaching/support and psychological coaching with adults. I have also undertaken further training in Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) a highly effective NICE recommended therapy for depression (in both adults & teenagers) & have specialist knowledge of 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 psychological coach and 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.
