Debbie Clay (my pronouns are She/Her)

I qualified as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist in 2014 and have full accreditation with BABCP. I have experience of working in Secondary Care Mental Health Teams, IAPT (Talking Therapies) and Disorders Services. I am passionate about helping people to gain insight into and overcome psychological difficulties whilst improving quality of life and relationships.

I currently work part time in the NHS as a CBT Therapist and have a Private Practice in Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol and in Portishead, North Somerset. I offer 1:1 Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for a range of issues such as low mood, stress, anxiety, OCD, trauma, disordered eating and low self-esteem using evidence-based treatment methods. In some cases, the application of 'Third Wave ' therapies such as Compassion Focussed Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or Mindfulness might be appropriate to integrate into therapy. Sessions are 50 mins long and the number of sessions required will usually be between 6 and 20. We would periodically review progress during this time. Requirements of Accreditation with BABCP include regular supervision and Continuous Professional Development. Online appointments also available.
