ABOUT
Hello!
We are Jacqui & Nikola, Clinical Psychologists and Co- Founders of Nine Psychology. Together with our team, we hope to support you across this journey.
It's so good to meet you.
Our story started in 2020, when we embarked on 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 with the BABCP, which means that we are specialised 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.
WHAT WE DO
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 thoughtful and detailed assessment and formulation. Formulation is 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 treatment in line with best practice, whilst considering multiple angles and perspectives to reduce any bias.
