About Psychology South Essex
Psychology South Essex is a team of HCPC-registered clinical psychologists and chartered practitioners who work with individuals and organisations to promote psychological understanding and wellbeing.
The practice offers a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to your needs. These include cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), a hands-on approach that focuses on current difficulties and looks for practical ways forward, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), which combines mindfulness techniques like meditation and breathing exercises with elements from cognitive therapy. Family and systemic therapy addresses problems in the context of relationships with significant others, while attachment-based therapy focuses on the attachments and relationships formed in early life. General counselling and psychotherapy sessions are also available, alongside clinical psychological assessment for concerns such as low mood, anxiety, phobias and panic.
