Clerkin Psychology Services

The emotional and psychological upsets and stresses people experience when things are getting on top of them can be exhausting and can impact on all aspects of our lives: our health, our relationships, our work and our overall mental wellbeing. Do you feel a sense of panic or extreme anxiety sometimes, as if everything is out of control?.

At its simplest, therapy is a conversation between the client and the therapist, where the therapist uses their training and skills to assist the client in overcoming the difficulties that have been causing them concern or distress. However, it is not a passive process: you, the client, will be required to play an active part in and between the sessions if you are going to be able to benefit from the help offered.

If there is one thing I can be confident about as I write this, it is that each of you reading this knows what anxiety feels like. But coping with anxiety or feelings of panic is not always easy and sometimes, we need expert help to learn to deal with these worries or anxieties better. For some people, coping with worries and anxieties can be fairly straightforward and they seem to take in their stride, resolve it quickly, and then move on.

Clinical psychologists work with you to try and shed some light on any difficulties you, your family, or your child may be having. Then we think through with you what changes would be helpful, and work with you to try to help you achieve the changes that you want to achieve.

We work with clients with a wide range of emotional and behavioural problems, including mood disorders such as depression, anxiety problems, physical health concerns, phobias and posttraumatic stress disorder.With children, we offer support in managing behavioural problems, coaching children as they respond to challenges, parent coaching and guidance in parenting skills, as well as working with anxiety problems and response to trauma.

Clerkin Psychology Services Ltd opened the consulting rooms at Red Hill House, a business centre on the edge of Chester, in 2007, to provide private psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors, coaches and other independent 'talking' professionals with high quality, comfortable and professional accommodation in which to see their clients.
