DR LAUREN BECKER
HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist
(BPsy, DClinPsy)
About me
I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist (BPsy, DClinPsy) with many years of experience working in specialist mental health settings within the NHS. I currently work in a secondary care NHS service providing psychotherapy for individuals experiencing complex and enduring difficulties with their mental health, including those with long-standing depression, anxiety, emotion-regulation and relationship difficulties and complex-trauma.
My aim is to provide an empathic, thoughtful and reflective space in which we can explore, understand and work through old dynamics of being and relating that might be causing you pain and keeping you feeling stuck in life. While I am trained to work in a variety of psychological approaches, I primarily offer psychodynamic psychotherapy and mentalization-based therapy (MBT), on either on a long or short-term basis.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy offers a way of exploring the underlying obstacles to moving forward in life which may not always be accessible to conscious thinking. I provide a safe space where you can learn to listen to yourself and be heard without judgment, with the aim of understanding how your past experiences might be shaping how you live, work, and relate to others in the present. The dynamic in the therapy room can bring to life the patterns and themes that occur in your relationship with yourself and with others. Through working together to gain insight this can help reduce distress and shift repeating negative patterns, allowing you more freedom to make positive changes in your life.
Mentalization-based therapy is a psychodynamically informed treatment in which we focus on making sense of what goes on in your own mind and in the minds of other people, to understand and alleviate problematic patterns of behaviour. It can be particularly useful for
those who struggle forming healthy attachments and experience intense emotional distress in relationships.
I currently offer sessions in person on Friday mornings, with some availability for online.
Cost per session: £100.
