Jess Ryan

Clinical Psychologist

Accepting clients I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years of experience in working with children, adolescences and adults. My passion for supporting people to understand themselves within the context of family and supports, lead me to complete additional training in Family Therapy and Cognitive Analytic Therapy. I aim to create a safe, warm and supportive space for clients to speak honestly, and feel seen and heard. I believe therapy can provide an environment in which we can explore and understand our inner selves, our relationships and any unhelpful patterns we may be stuck in. I endeavour to help clients find new ways to harness their values and strengths, and to respond to any challenges in a way that helps them work towards their goals. I have worked with adolescents, adults and families with a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, adjustment to change, managing stress and eating and body image difficulties. I utilise an integrative approach combing techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Systemic Family Therapy and Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT).
