Dr Jessica Golden

Clinical Director,
B.A. Honours Psychology,
PGdip Psychology,
Registered Counselling Psychologist (HCPC)

HCPC-1.jpg

I am a highly qualified registered counselling psychologist with experience in offering specialised psychological therapy to adults, children, families and couples with moderate to complex difficulties. 

I have specific training in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, trauma, bereavement, panic, OCD and personality disorders. Additionally I am trained to work with interpersonal difficulties, which includes relationship problems, family issues and problems you might have in your relationships. I have vast experience working across the lifespan, with adults, young people and with children from the age of four, and I am trained in play therapy which helps children to work through their distress in a way which is suitable for their level of development. 

My approach to therapy is to work with you, rather than for you. I hold a belief that although I carry psychological expertise, you would only have come to me if you had tried multiple ways of coping yourself. In this way I aim to work collaboratively with you to understand your difficulties within a safe, confidential and supportive setting, where you will be treated with respect and compassion. I am trained in multiple models of therapy some of which include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Person Centred Therapy. I work to integrate these models to create an individual approach which is uniquely suited to you and your needs.

Dr Nataly Fernandez

B.Sc Honours Psychology
Registered Health Psychologist (HCPC)

As a health psychologist, I am trained in a range of evidence-based therapies and interventions such as person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and process experiential therapies. I use an integrative approach to create a collaborative, safe and non-judgmental space in which I can tailor my support to your needs.

My training has equipped me to support you in the psychological and emotional aspects of health and illness, as well as the prevention and management of health conditions. Through my support, you can develop awareness of the connection and interaction between mind and body and how they impact your health and well-being.

I have professional experience supporting adults with a range of difficulties such as: Addictions, eating disorders, life transitions, self-esteem, low mood, depression, anxiety, panic, stress management, behavior change, habit formation, bereavement, health anxiety, relationship difficulties, domestic abuse and trauma.

My practice is based on humanistic principles and values, therefore, the therapeutic relationship between me and you it’s fundamental in my practice. I believe that a safe space and a trusting relationship facilitates an environment for growth, authenticity and empowerment.

These problems might manifest in a range of different ways; lowered mood, stress, difficulty sleeping, anxiety irritability in relationships, difficulty in relationships or many other upsetting ways. Sometimes these problems are caused by a recent or past trauma or a significant change in your life and you may wish to process these experiences and increase your confidence in coping with any difficulties.

Dr Jake Easto

Registered Clinical Psychologist (HCPC)
M.A. Honours Psychology
M. Sc. Psychological Therapy in Primary Care

I am a Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience working within the NHS as well as third sector charities. I believe one of the most important aspects of any therapy is the ability for a client and therapist to develop an open, empathetic and trusting therapeutic relationship, therefore I place this at the centre of any person I work with.

Based upon my previous experience and training I am able to provide personalised, evidence based psychological interventions to individuals across the age spectrum. I have experience working with individuals with diverse and complex presentations and have experience utilising Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion focused therapy. All my therapeutic interventions will utilise an integrative approach based upon a collaborative formulation of your current needs. 

I am confident working with a range of presentations including PTSD and Complex PTSD, Depression, Low Self-Esteem, Obsessive Compulsive, Anxiety disorders, Grief Disorder, Personality Disorders, Bi-polar depression and relationship difficulties. 

Ultimately, I believe therapy works when a therapist and a client can create a safe, open and cooperative space where we are able to look at difficult topics from a place of understanding, acceptance and compassion. In this way I believe people are able to make positive changes to their lives, enabling them to let go of pain, bringing them closer to their positive goals and values.
