WHO WE ARE...

My name is Dr Joy Ross and I am a Doctor of Clinical Psychology.

I completed my undergraduate degree with Honours in Psychology at Glasgow University, a Masters degree in Forensic Psychology at Glasgow Caledonian University, and finally achieved my Doctorate in Clinical  Psychology from the University of Edinburgh.

I have worked for the Scottish Prison Service, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, NHS Lanarkshire and The Huntercoumbe Group in Scotland. I have also worked south of the border for the NHS as part of Cheshire and Wirral Partnership Trust. I currently work in private practice in Anglia, where I service the South East of England including but not limited to Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex and London.

I work eclectically with the specific needs of my clients at the centre of my choice around what models and modes of therapy to employ. Some of the models of therapy that I draw from are CBT, CFT, CAT and mindfulness. As well as being versed in providing intervention for those experiencing psychological difficulties, I have a particular interest in applying aspects of my clinical expertise to enhancing performance, which I feel adds an interesting and rewarding dimension to my practice.

I am a chartered Clinical Psychologist, registered with the British Psychological Society and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

I completed my undergraduate honours degree in Psychology at the University of Glasgow. Thereafter, I achieved a Masters in Forensic Psychology (MSc.) from The University of Surrey. I then completed my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Edinburgh.

I have experience of working therapeutically in a wide range of settings, including NHS Lothian, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, and the Scottish Prison Service. I have expertise in both clinical psychology and forensic psychology, and have worked with people of all ages, dealing with a variety of psychological issues.

I use a range of therapeutic models in my clinical practice, depending on what best suits my individual client. Some of the models I use include CBT, CAT, ACT, MBT and mindfulness based therapy.

I enjoy working with individuals to help them through their personal problems, using a creative approach that tailors each intervention to suit the individual I am working with.

My goal is to reduce psychological distress, and support people on a journey of recovery to help them achieve greater fulfilment in life.
