Compassionate Therapists in Warwickshire, Birmingham & Online Across the UK - Expert CBT Therapy

Dr Nina Browne is a Principal Clinical Psychologist with 25 years of experience working across the NHS, private practice and community mental health services. Alongside her private practice, she leads an NHS psychological therapies service in London.

Dr Browne supports people experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma or PTSD, stress, burnout, loneliness, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief and loss. She offers a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can make sense of what is happening together. Therapy is collaborative and tailored to you as an individual. Her aim is not only to reduce the overwhelm but to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and create meaningful, lasting change.

Alongside talking therapy, she also integrates body-based and nervous system approaches (called Somatics) where they are helpful. Dr Browne helps people to see how their thoughts, emotions and physical responses are closely connected, and paying attention to how your body experiences stress, trauma and safety can open up new possibilities for change. She draws on these approaches at a pace that feels right for you.

Dr Gobinderijt Kaur is a Clinical Psychologist with experience of working in adult mental health and physical health services with adults in the NHS experiencing a range of emotional and psychological difficulties. Therapy involves a compassionate, co-created and non-judgemental space to explore your experiences and consider what living a meaningful life means to you.

She has additional training in eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy (EMDR), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), mentalisation based therapy (MBT) and training in intensive short term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP). This allows therapy to be tailored to your needs, whether you are struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, traumatic experiences as well as any other experiences and longstanding patterns that you may wish to consider further.

Dr Gobinderjit Kaur is also involved in teaching, research and supervising Clinical Psychologists in training at the University of Birmingham. Dr Gobinderjit Kaur's work involves culturally sensitive and inclusive practices.

Dr Amy Woodham has extensive experience providing psychological therapy. She works with us and in the NHS, where she provides psychological support to young people living with physical health conditions, as well as to their parents and families. She also works with adults and adolescents experiencing a wide range of psychological difficulties, including anxiety disorders (such as panic, social anxiety, phobias and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)), low mood, self-criticism, low self-esteem, and the emotional impact of physical health conditions, including chronic pain, fatigue and appearance-related distress. 

Dr Woodham also supports people following single-incident trauma, such as traumatic accidents. Additionally, she has a particular interest in supporting parents-to-be during pregnancy and parents in the postnatal period as they adjust to the emotional and psychological challenges that can be present when adjusting to becoming a parent.

Dr Woodham is trained in a range of evidence-based psychological therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She tailors her approach to each person's individual needs, drawing on these models to provide therapy that is collaborative, practical and compassionate.

Lauren Calder is an HCPC and HPCSA registered Practitioner Psychologist with over 20 years' clinical experience. She is also trained in EMDR. Lauren believes that people often seek therapy during times of transition, when they feel stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves or their relationships. Rather than treating these moments as problems to be fixed, she approaches them as necessary turning points in the process of psychological growth, insight and self-understanding.

Lauren works with individuals and couples experiencing relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, life transitions, family conflict and recovery from narcissistic abuse. Lauren's approach is integrative and tailored to the person, drawing on solution-focused therapy, EMDR, Jungian psychology, attachment theory, narrative therapy,  ACT, DBT and transactional analysis.

Taking the step to seek psychological support can feel daunting, and finding the right person matters. I believe that meaningful support starts with genuinely understanding the person in front of you, not just the presenting problem. With over 15 years of experience across NHS and private settings, including acute inpatient hospital care, community mental health, and Children and Young People's services, I aim to offer a space that feels both clinically rigorous and genuinely welcoming. I offer psychological therapy drawing on a variety of evidenced based approaches, alongside neurodevelopmental assessments for adults, with a particular interest in ADHD and autism, delivered with a neuro-affirming approach. I hold a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology, am a registered Practitioner Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), and a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society.
