Hello!
We're Jacqui & Nikola, Clinical Psychologists and co- founders of Nine Psychology, a private therapy service providing you with a warm and friendly team supporting you across your journey to recovery.
It's so good to meet you.
Our journey together started in 2020, when we carried out our Clinical Psychology Doctorate training together in London. We qualified as Clinical Psychologists and are now registered with the HCPC. We are also fully-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapists, which means that we are able to specialise in delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and "third-wave" CBT approaches.
​​​​Our experience working with a range of children, young people and adults across the NHS and privately, led us to create a community here at Nine Psychology.
We understand the difficulties and challenges individuals face when accessing psychological care and treatment, particularly in the NHS, with long waiting times and a limited number of sessions and resources.
We recognise the wide-spread need for accessing treatment quickly as well as a trusting team and network outside of the NHS, providing you with stability and security.
​
We created Nine Psychology to bridge this gap.
HCPC and/or BABCP registered Each member of our team is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and/or accredited by the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP)
Assessment & Formulation We maintain best practice through emphasising the importance of a thorough assessment and formulation. Formulation involves the process of making sense of your life experiences, creating a shared picture or story of how your early and previous life experiences shaped and influenced your belief system and fears. We can then identify how you've learned to cope with those beliefs and fears, that might be maintaining the current difficulties and keeping you stuck.
Therapy tailored to meet your goals The Formulation enables us to see how and what unhelpful and maladaptive coping mechanisms you might have adopted over the years. Goals for therapy might be based on changing these or finding other more helpful ways of coping. Therapy will then be tailored to meet your goals and needs in this way
Therapy backed up by science & research As Doctors and practitioners in Clinical Psychology we align our practice with scientific research and evidence, to ensure we deliver effective therapy.
Supervision & Guidance Our team engage in regular supervision to ensure we are providing therapy and treatment in line with best practice and multiple perspectives.
