It's great to meet you! I'm Katie, and I am the founder of Psychology58, based in Cambridgeshire. My educational background is in psychology, and I have a professional background in mental health and clinical psychology. I am a fully qualified Dialectical Behaviour Therapist, and have 8 years experience working in mental health for those with mild to severe psychological difficulties. I have a wealth of experience working with different psychological models and techniques, and have treated hundreds of clients over the years. I currently practice part-time as a psychologist and DBT Therapist in the NHS. Psychology58 allows me to treat clients who may want something different to what the NHS can offer.
Therapy needs to be holistic, and take into consideration all aspects of you. I use lots of different psychological models and therapeutic tools to benefit you in the best possible way.
As a fully trained Dialectical Behaviour Therapist I can offer online DBT therapy on a 1:1 basis.
I can also offer online psychotherapy for clients who do not require DBT.
I offer pre-designed and bespoke seminars and workshops, often co-facilitated with myself and other trusted mental health professionals.
My journey into psychology started about 10 years ago. I have 8 years experience working professionally within mental health. I started out my career working in the substance misuse sector, delivering interventions based on cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to those struggling with alcoholism. I moved onto working for the top mental health charity in the country. Here, I worked 1:1 with people struggling with all kinds of mental health challenges, from anxiety and depression, to personality disorders, to perinatal support. For years I have facilitated all types of groups, from peer-support groups, workshops and psychological therapy. I have lived experience of mental health challenges. I have been working in the NHS as a psychologist for nearly 5 years, currently specialising in emotional unstable personality disorder. I have since fully trained as a DBT therapist.
I have built a strong skill set that allows me to work diversely with many clients. Some examples of training I have had include substance misuse, managing suicide and self-harm, dissociative identity disorder, compassion-focused therapy, mentalisation-based treatment, dialectical behaviour therapy, radically-open dialectical behaviour therapy, anxiety management, perfectionism, autism, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), eating disorders, and supporting families for those with difficulties related to emotionally unstable personality disorder.
My clients typically struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, confidence difficulties, difficulties around emotions and relationships, interpersonal skills, career struggles, emotionally unstable personality disorder, and many other challenges. Sometimes, life just feels messy, and they come to me to have someone objective help them think it through. Whilst I have extensive expertise working with EUPD, many of my clients come to me with other difficulties. They often appreciate that I can work with challenges around emotions, relationships, and self-destructive patterns at a complex level.
If are are unsure whether I can be of help to you, please get in touch for an informal chat.
