Hi, I'm Dr Bea

I'm a Clinical Psychologist and the founder of One Psychology.

For nearly fifteen years, I have been helping individuals, couples and families overcome a wide range of psychological difficulties. My professional journey includes over eight years in the NHS, much of which was spent working on psychiatric wards supporting people experiencing severe and complex mental health problems. Today, I work primarily in private practice with clients experiencing difficulties such as depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma and PTSD, stress, relationship difficulties, and the emotional challenges that often accompany significant life changes.

My Therapeutic Approach

I see psychotherapy as a personal journey, a chance to get to know yourself better, and a safe space to explore and grow. What interests me most is the process of understanding ourselves, the therapeutic relationship, and the freedom that comes from greater self-awareness.

I believe the most effective therapy combines scientific evidence with genuine curiosity about who you are as a person. My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), while drawing on elements of other evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Gestalt Therapy. This integrative approach allows me to tailor therapy to your individual needs, goals and circumstances. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of this process, as understanding your unique experiences is key to finding the approach that is most helpful for you.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is seeing people begin to understand themselves differently and gradually build the life they want to live. Above all, I believe that every person has the potential to live a fulfilling life and to feel more at ease with themselves and others.
