About
Dr Polly James, Clinical Psychologist
(BSc, DClinpsy)
I am a Highly Specialised Clinical Psychologist and have been working in the NHS for over 10 years. I am a compassionate and friendly psychologist with experience of working with children and adults across the lifespan with various physical, mental and neurodevelopmental needs. I love the work that I do and I aim to provide a warm, friendly non-judgmental environment for therapy with children, young people, adults and their families. I believe in working holistically and draw from different therapeutic models.
As a mother of 2 small children who have multiple allergies and feeding difficulties I can definitely empathise with parents, especially those who need support with the stress of having children with allergies! I am an experienced yoga teacher and believe in taking a person centered approach to help people meet their goals and make positive changes in their lives. I love running, tennis and the outdoors (if I can find the time!).
What to Expect
Individual therapy
During the first session I aim to get to know you and understand the reasons why you have come to therapy. I will ask you questions about your current difficulties and the impact this is having on your life right now. I may also ask about your history, relationships and any significant experiences (positive and negative). Asking these questions will enable me to assess and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach for you.
