Dr Helen Barker is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist specialising in adult mental health. She is HCPC registered, Chartered with the British Psychological Society, and an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner, bringing extensive clinical expertise to her work with adults aged 18 and over.

Dr Barker offers a range of evidence-based psychological therapies tailored to individual needs.
