Dr Isabel Battye
Consultant Clinical Psychologist, CPsychol, DClinPsy, BSc
(Hons)
I am a Clinical Psychologist. I have worked in the NHS since 2005,
completing my Doctoral training in Clinical Psychology in 2009. I
take a whole systems approach and understanding the difficulties
being presented in the context that a person (child, young person or
adult) is in for example their family, their school, their work, their
social circle. I aim to work with my client(s) to get to a shared
formulation (understanding or story of the problem), even when
working with someone on their own, we would be thinking about
their wider context as well. I like to follow my clients (children,
teens, adults) interests to make their journeys more colourful in
therapy and using imagery and stories to help understand, make
sense of things and make a new story of compassion and
emotional wellbeing.
I have had training in and have experience of delivering Cognitive
Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy
(MBCT), Narrative Therapy, Brief Solution Focussed Therapy,
Compassion Focussed Therapy, Systemic Therapy, Parenting
Interventions (Including Incredible Years and the Parent Child
Game), Tree of Life. I have worked with children, young people
and adults in a range of settings who have had a range of
difficulties including: Anxiety; Panic Attacks; Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder (OCD); Worries; School refusal; Depression;
Low Mood; Low Self Esteem; Attachment-based difficulties
(relationship difficulties across the lifespan); Trauma and Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder; Self-harm and Suicidal Ideation and
Having strange experiences (e.g. hearing voices). I have over the
last 6 years especially worked with caregivers of children and
adolescents delivering groups for parents or foster carers and more
bespoke interventions with parents and children together.
