Katy Baboulene D. Couns Psych

(Clinical Director)

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist, Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society with over twenty years’ experience working with adults, adolescents and children. I have specialised in working with individuals experiencing severe and enduring mental health problems including psychosis, trauma, complex trauma, eating disorders, emotional regulation difficulties, personality and relationship difficulties – in addition to the most commonly experienced psychological difficulties such as depression and anxiety.

During my career I have completed several applied trainings including Mentalization-Based Treatment, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, Cognitive Analytica Therapy, Compassion Focussed Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I have also completed a piece of doctoral research into the experience of psychosis, obtaining a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology.

I am an integrative psychological practitioner and work collaboratively with individuals, couples and families, to facilitate recovery from a wide range of psychological difficulties, enabling increased personal awareness and growth, with the development of coping strategies to maintain future psychological health.
