About Us
We provide adult clinical psychology and therapy services to individuals and groups. Lisa Butler, Imogen Howse and Julie Dickson have worked in and around Portsmouth for many years and have significant NHS experience in providing mental health services to the local population.
All three of us are accredited CBT therapists and have experience in providing NICE recommended treatments for common mental health problems such as depression, anxiety problems, eating disorders and adult trauma related problems. We have all undertaken additional training to provide a range of other therapeutic approaches including EMDR, ACT, CFT, IPT, DBT, Mindfulness based therapies and psychodynamic therapy.
With our training and experience we are able to offer a single therapy approach for a specific problem or we can also draw together a range of different psychological therapies to create a personalised treatment when no standard guidelines exist. This is the case for problems such as low self-esteem where there is good research into treatments that help but no definitive guidelines at the present time. The impact of childhood trauma on the adult can also require an individualised treatment plan as the effects of these experiences can differ greatly from person to person.
We seek to create a plan that suits the individual person rather than expecting the person to fit the plan.
