Dr Jo Webber

About

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 15 years experience working within the NHS in a variety of services.

I work primarily with children, young people and families.

My Experience and Interests

I am experienced in supporting families facing a wide range of difficulties. These include:

• Psychological concerns related to a physical health condition or injury
• Trauma
• Low mood
• Sleep difficulties
• Anxiety
• Specific phobias
• Body image concerns

I also provide support with parenting and have experience working with autistic young people and children with learning disabilities.

I have specialist experience in working with younger children using play based and narrative approaches, and in working with trauma with both children and parents.

How I Like to Work

I work collaboratively, building a trusting relationship and working together to form a good understanding of concerns and how they have developed, and then forming a plan for how to address these. With children, I work flexibly and creatively and create a safe space from which difficulties can be explored.

The Therapy Approaches I Use

As a Clinical Psychologist, I am able to draw on a range of approaches and find a good fit for my clients. My primary approaches are:

• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

I also use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and draw on ideas from systemic and narrative approaches.

My Credentials and Registration

I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Salomons Institute of Applied Psychology, Canterbury Christ Church University. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy with children, young people and adults. I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
