WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE
Dr Fiona Seth-Smith
Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
I offer therapies for a wide range of mental health problems and emotional difficulties. Drawing on long clinical experience, my goal is to help individuals (and sometimes families) achieve the lasting changes they wish for.
Using the best evidence and a range of skills, I help people of all ages - babies, teenagers, new parents, young and older adults. After a process of consultation, assessment and formulation of your difficulties, I provide tailored psychological support and a safe place for you to think and talk. I aim to empower you to feel better and live your life as fully as possible.
Therapies & Specialties
Perinatal Mental Health
Perinatal mental health is a relatively new term which incorporates all the risks and stressors to women (and men’s) mental health during pregnancy and throughout the first and second year of your baby’s life.
Parent Infant Psychotherapy
Parent Infant Psychotherapy is a Psychodynamic Therapy in which you and your baby meet with Fiona together. The aim of the therapy is to relieve emotional disturbances within you and to support your baby’s emotional development
EMDR for Trauma
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. EMDR is a therapy used to help people recover from distressing events and the problems they cause - such as flashbacks, upsetting thoughts or images, depression and anxiety. EMDR can help free you from emotional difficulties stemming from the past so that you are able to feel present and safe in the here and now.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy differs from many other forms of psychotherapy in that, as well as attending to the contents of your thoughts, it focusses on the patterns and types of your thinking, especially when are you are stressed or low.
