Ruth Kendall

Since qualifying as a Clinical Psychologist in 2008 I have specialised in working with children, adolescents and families. This work has been in a range of settings for the NHS. I am fully accredited with the Health Care Professions Council (HPCP). I am also a qualified Mindfulness teacher and Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR) practitioner. I work integratively, drawing on different models, including Systemic, Mindfulness and Compassion-based approaches, EMDR, Cognitive, and Behavioural approaches. My areas of experience and particular interests are trauma (both for children and parents), chronic and physical health conditions, somatic symptoms, working with the mind and body, attachment difficulties, emotional regulation and sensory processing difficulties, and learning disabilities. I feel passionately about supporting children and young peoples' emotional well-being and helping parents, carers and schools to understand their individual needs.
