Hi, I am Felicity.

I am a warm and approachable Clinical Psychologist, with over 20 years’ experience working with children, young people and their families. This work has included over ten years’ experience of working in mental health services within the NHS, and nine years based at Beacon House.

I have worked with children and their families across a range of settings, including Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), paediatric psychology teams, schools and inpatient services. I have worked therapeutically with both individuals and groups, and have provided training in a number of therapeutic approaches.

I am experienced in working with young people presenting with a wide variety of difficulties, including low mood, anxiety, and relationship issues. I also enjoy parent consultation work: helping parents and carers to further develop their understanding of a child’s difficulties and think together about ways of moving forward. I have a particular interest regarding the potential impacts of screens and the internet on young people. I enjoy delivering talks to schools on this topic, as well as a range of wider mental health issues.

I place huge value on the therapeutic relationship. I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental space to support families with the difficulties they are facing. I adopt a flexible, collaborative way of working and draw on a range of different therapeutic modalities, including attachment, cognitive-behavioural and systemic approaches.

I invest a lot of energy into working creatively, to try and help psychological concepts feel accessible to young people and their families. I am always interested in exploring the resources and interests of children, and in using these in working towards their chosen goals.

I live with my husband and three children, as well as a very bouncy pup and lots of chickens. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, both young and old, being outside, and all things arty.
