My name is Emma Kingdom and I am a Clinical Psychologist in London. I work both in South East London and online. I am a registered practitioner psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and am committed to keeping up to date with the latest research and training opportunities by continuing my professional development (CPD).
What it might be like to meet me?
I understand that accessing therapy might feel nerve wracking or overwhelming. Hopefully explaining a little bit about the way I work might help you think about if I’ll be a good match for you. I aim to foster a friendly, warm and nonjudgmental relationship within which change can happen, leaving you feeling more satisfied and fulfilled with life. Depending on your goals we can utilise a more structured approach or offer more of an exploratory stance.
My background & approach
I have over ten years experience within the field of mental health, working with people at various stages of life, from children, to adults, becoming parents and through to older adults. I am particularly experienced in working with adults struggling with stress, low mood and anxiety. I have experience working with clients with neurodivergence such as ADHD and autism.
I work in an NHS Early Years Team for the majority of the week, supporting both parents and their children, under the age of five. I am passionate about working with mothers and fathers at this crucial period of time in their lives, recognising that it can be both exciting but also overwhelming and challenging. I make space to think about this transition to parenthood, support parents in managing their own mental health as well as think about possible impact of their own childhood on parenting. I am also experienced in working with young children with difficulties in early childhood including sleeping, feeding, separation and behavioral difficulties.
I take an integrative approach to work using a range of models including attachment and trauma informed models, as well as EMDR, CBT and compassion focused therapy. I draw from all of these different theories to make sense of people’s unique needs and individual circumstances.
I see clients in the Circle Psychology Partners consulting rooms in East Dulwich and online.
