Dr. Karina Woldt, Clinical Psychologist , 
 
CBT therapist
 
I am a  kind, compassionate and enthusiastic Psychologist with over 20 year experience of working within the NHS providing psychotherapy and  specialist Clinical Psychology  for people with various mood issues including  depression, anxiety disorders such as panic attacks, obsessive Compulsive disorders, Agoraphobia, relationship issues, trauma and chronic health problems etc.  I have worked as a senior Psychologist leading  teams in both addiction teams and Diabetes team in the past, thus I have a broad variety of  expertise  different areas .   My specialty is working with those with complex trauma, including addiction issues, and self esteem issues  getting them to feel less self critical  and work towards  life that is valued by them.   Also  helping those with chronic health, pain issues and mood  problems has been another of my specialisms. 
​
  As a  compassionate, warm and person centered therapist  I  can also  draw from a variety of treatment approaches.  This helps in providing therapy  which works best with your individual needs. We  are all different thus  the more approaches a clinician can draw from the better for matching them to your own preferences. 
 
I  practice both mindfulness and yoga regularly to keep myself balanced, which is something I often also use  within my therapy when it fits the clients needs.

If you have had prior therapy input and it has not worked for you never give up, sometimes a new approach or new more experienced psychologist may help  you get started  on that journey of  truly changing your life.

​

My pricing is lower than most other  Clinical Psychologists in the area to keep things affordable.   
 
 The standard going rate for  Clinical Psychologist is currently £100-150 This is due to the expertise and  much longer training required  than e.g. counsellors. Due to the highly  specialist treatment   we offer this  tends to be often more targeted and focused  thus often more brief.
