Dr Andrew Adams

Dr Andrew Adams, Clinical Psychologist, says:

Life can be challenging, whether trying to find a suitable work/life balance, struggling with anxiety or depression, seeking perfectionism or having an overactive mind.

My main goal is to create a supportive and nurturing environment to help you reach your goals.

I prioritise privacy and confidentiality.

I am passionate about providing high quality, tailored care in a non-judgmental space for you to heal and grow.

• panic disorder
• sleep problems
• phobias
• ADHD and Autism support
• chronic pain management

Range of Different Psychological Therapies

I work using a range of treatment modalities based on evidence-based therapeutic approaches. These might include:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
• Schema Therapy
• Internal Family Systems
• Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)

I have over 13 years of clinical experience, working with clients in England, Wales, Scotland and Canada.

I have worked in both the National Health Service (NHS), and in private practice (see below).

During our work together I will do my best to tailor the therapeutic experience to your specific needs, and ensure you feel empowered throughout.

Having therapy can be a challenging process, and I will work with you to provide a safe and supportive experience, where you will hopefully develop a better understanding of these issues, and find improved coping skills for the future.

Previous clients have reported finding better balance to their lives, improved well-being, a deeper understanding of themselves, and improved methods of coping with life’s challenges. (See testimonials below.)

I bring to my private practice, my extensive experience of seeing a variety of people referred to different NHS and other services.
