Katie Hutchin

katiehutchin40@gmail.com

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years’ experience of working with people in distress or displaying challenging behaviors.  Over the past 11 years’ I have been working as a qualified psychologist in the NHS supporting children, young people and families who are experiencing a range of emotional difficulties. I work with complex issues including, but not limited to depression, school phobias, anxiety/fearfulness, trauma, grief, illness, aggression, mild to moderate self-harm and suicidal ideation, low self-esteem, social withdrawal, parenting and relationship issues. Clinical psychologists are trained to a high level to use the most up to date and extensively researched therapies to support a person/family make sense of their difficulties and find ways to live a more contented life.  I am a firm believer that each of us has the capacity to transform our lives and our relationships with the support of a good therapist.

After a brief assessment, we will come up with a plan for therapy that will move you towards your goals. It may be useful for me to contact other agencies and professionals involved with your family/child.  I enjoy using a variety of mediums including family work, play-based approaches, as well as the more traditional talking therapies.   I am passionate about childhood and always take a developmental approach when understanding what is going on for a child/adolescent or family.  If you are looking for someone to support your family through a challenging time, offer specialist assessment and intervention for specific concerns or provide a psychological opinion on concerns that you may have about your child then do get in touch.

I am also able to offer Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), a specialist treatment for simple or complex trauma.  At a pace that suits you, we will gently and carefully work through your experiences so you can regain control of your life.

Geraldine Meadows - Therapist & Coach

Phone number: 07739 426375

We are delighted to welcome Geraldine Meadows, MBACP: therapist & coach to our centre.

"I believe you can feel better than you do now: that you can know and understand yourself better and feel both lighter and more secure in yourself. I also believe firmly in the power of connection, and communication, to help achieve these goals."

"I work in an integrative way, blending elements of person centred, existential and psychodynamic theory, working in a creative way to suit your needs.

Person-centred: an approach which considers you the expert in your own life and in which you are met with a set of core conditions such as empathy, congruence and positive regard.

Existential: a philosophical approach which focuses on the human condition as a whole, dealing with challenges associated with living such as relationships, freedom and responsibility and the quest to find meaning.

Psychodynamic: this type of work aims to shine a light on the unconscious - to build awareness of what's happening as a deeper level within, helping people to know and understand themselves more fully and building awareness to bring about change.

My training also includes a qualification in coaching - I want know what you want out of life and to work with you to discover how to get there.

Starting therapy takes courage. It takes effort and belief that you can feel better than you do now. I've been there and know how much it takes. From day one, the rewards can be rich - you can feel lighter, brighter and better understood. The process of therapy can be a really fun adventure. I experience a lot of laughter and moments of mirth with clients. It’s a journey of learning and discovery. I am here to join you on the journey -- please get in touch to take the first step."

Geraldine has an MA in Philosophy from the University of Glasgow and a PG.Dip (Dist) in Integrative Counselling and Coaching from the University of East London. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their strict ethical framework & code of conduct.
