Caroline Coffey
I am an experienced Consultant Clinical Psychologist offering a range of therapeutic assessment and treatments for adults including couple therapy.
I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in 2006, and have been practicing as a clinical psychologist since . I am registered with the Health Care Professions Council. I have wide experience of working with clients across the lifespan from diverse backgrounds with a variety of presenting difficulties.
Therapies
I am experienced in using a range of psychological approaches to treatment including cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), cognitive analytic therapy (CAT), compassion focused therapy (CFT), and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I am skilled at discussing and adapting such models to best fit the needs of the client. I am experienced at providing a safe and non judgemental space for clients to feel heard, understood and empowered to explore patterns and difficulties they are experiencing.
Short and longer term therapy options are available. The frequency of appointments can be discussed at assessment.
Clinical Experience
My clinical experience has included working with adults who are presenting with low mood, managing longer term patterns of depression including the use of medications, high anxiety and patterns of worry, including health anxiety. Relationship difficulties, improving sexual wellbeing and changing patterns of high risk sexual behaviour, issues of sexual identity and the emotional impact of discrimination and homophobia, experiences of abuse, harmful behaviours and trauma, difficulties managing emotions and self harming behaviours including the use of drugs and alcohol to manage difficult emotions.
I have extensive experience of working with clients who have poor physical health and the negative impact this can have on emotional wellbeing, quality of life and relationships.
Booking an Assessment Appointment
It can be difficult to know which therapist to chose and what therapeutic approach is most suitable for your presenting difficulties. The initial appointments is the opportunity to make a connection with the client, to have a collaborative discussion about how I can help and work together with the client to plan and bring about change. If you would like to book an assessment or have any questions then please make contact.
