A Clinical Psychologist can help you to better manage your thinking, explore your feelings and promote positive and meaningful behavioural change using a wide range of assessment and practical interventions.  

 

My work centres on helping people if they feel out of step with their life; if there are complex family dynamics or identity shifts following illness, disability, or major life changes. Perhaps there is an internal tension that isn’t easily explained. Therapy with Dr Simone Hughes is about developing a clearer understanding of your internal landscape, and building something more workable from there. Depending on what you need, we might: 1) clarify thinking patterns that repeat across relationships; 2) unpack emotional responses that feel disproportionate or confusing; 3) work practically with overcoming depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma, 4) help to overcome behaviours that are self-defeating; or 5) sit with something that hasn’t yet found words. Progress isn’t always linear. But it should feel meaningful.
