Is Seeing a ‘Clinical Psychologist’ or EMDR for You?
Welcome to Clear Sky Psychology (CSP); an independent online Clinical Psychologist, and EMDR Supervisor/Consultant.
Dr Alice uses ACT, CBT, CFT, EMDR along with mindfulness practices to help you navigate those difficult periods in life. Clear Sky Psychology is based online, and offers flexible client-centred therapy sessions.
Although the job title can be a bit of a mouthful, but as a Clinical Psychologist I work with a range of people who may experience a variety of mental health difficulties. Therapy can be for anyone, at any life stage, and for any reason.
Working together, we’ll help you to identify and overcome causes of trauma, mood management difficulties, and various forms of anxiety and worry.
What can some forms of anxiety and worry look like? They can be panic attacks, social anxiety, work stress, generalised or health anxieties, and also phobias. These effects can have a huge negative impact on our lives, including social isolation, job dissatisfaction, relationship-breakdowns, to name a few.
I often work with people struggling with:
- Trauma,
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),
- Bipolar Disorder,
- Grief, Depression,
- Low self-esteem,
- Anyone having difficulty adjusting to life events and changes.
Other areas I specialise in include; neurodiversity, including ADHD and Autism, work stress, trauma resulting from bullying, and the psychological effects of physical and chronic health conditions.
The latter can include chronic illnesses like Fibromyalgia, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) – also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Long Covid, to name a few. For more specific information, please see this page.
Online Clinical Psychology and EMDR
As a qualified and registered Clinical Psychologist, I have the specialist skills and knowledge to tailor an approach that uses a blend of psychological therapies to best suit your needs.
Qualified and experienced, with two decades of experience working in mental health, I use the following therapies and integrative psychological therapy to help you care for your mind.
Therapy approaches include:
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing),
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy),
- ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy),
- CFT (Compassion Focused Therapy),
- IFS (Internal Family Systems),
- Mindfulness
Therapy could be likened to going on an adventure of self-discovery. Together we’ll get uncover an understanding of the difficulties that are causing you distress, and how/where these originate. We’ll then focus on why they continue to affect you, and to chart a pathway for you to move forward, and make meaningful positive changes to your life.
How I use Online EMDR as a Clinical Psychologist:
By tailoring this approach to suit your individual needs, and by engaging with compassion, warmth and respect, we’ll create a sense of safety where you are free to express and explore the difficulties you are facing.
Together, we will generate a plan to tackle these difficulties, and you can decide whether you want/need a few sessions, or if you want to continue working together over a longer time.
Working together remotely, we can also create a safe and comforting environment for you; so there’s no need to travel.
