About Life Psychology
I am Dr Roslyn Campbell and I am a Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I have nearly 12 years of experience of working with adults with a range of psychological difficulties and emotional issues. I offer an empathic, non-judgmental and confidential space to help you explore your difficulties in a collaborative way.
​
I provide evidence-based therapeutic interventions including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT), and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) for adults who are experiencing psychological difficulties such as complex trauma, anger, self-harm, suicidality, attachment difficulties, relationship difficulties, depression and anxiety as well as other emotional issues. As a Clinical Psychologist I can draw on one model of treatment or use an integrative approach and utilise a number of psychological models to best fit your needs and help you move towards a more balanced life that is aligned with your values.

Following your free 20 minute initial consultation, we will undertake an assessment session which will then assist in the development of your psychological formulation and therapy plan.

Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies with commitment and behaviour-change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility.
Psychological flexibility means contacting the present moment fully as a conscious human being, and changing behaviour in line with your values. Through metaphor and experiential exercises clients will learn how to make healthy contact with thoughts, feelings, memories and physical sensations that have been feared and avoided.
​
ACT can be used to effectively treat stress, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), psychosis, chronic pain and substance misuse.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioural therapy for those who feel emotions very intensely. It combines strategies such as mindfulness, acceptance and emotion regulation, which can help clients understand and accept difficult feelings and learn skills to manage them. It is recognised as the gold standard psychological treatment for those with borderline personality disorder (BPD) (a disorder of mood leading to emotional instability and relationship issues) but is also effective in treating substance dependence, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and eating disorders.
Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT)
Mentalization based therapy (MBT) brings together aspects of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural and systemic approaches to treat clients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). The main goals of MBT are better behavioural control, increased affect regulation, more intimate and gratifying relationships and the ability to pursue life goals. This can be achieved through increasing a client's capacity for mentalization in order to stabilise their sense of self and enhance stability in emotions and relationships.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is based on the concept that your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and actions are interconnected, and that negative thoughts and feelings can trap you in a vicious cycle. CBT aims to change client's thought patterns, conscious and unconscious beliefs, attitudes and behaviours in order to help overcome difficulties and achieve goals. CBT is effective in treating disorders such as anxiety, depression, panic disorders, phobias, substance misuse, insomnia and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) amongst other difficulties.
Supervision
I have extensive experience in supervising qualified psychologists and other mental health professionals who utilise a range of psychological models including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and integrative approaches. I am able to offer 1:1 and group supervision.
