About Davinia

I am an independent practitioner working from Claremont Psychology Service.
I work hard with all clients to develop a safe, therapeutic and comfortable space to talk through issues. My approach is thorough, patient, client focused and practical. Therapeutic approaches may include attachment, emotion focused processing, cognitive behaviour, dialectical behaviour and scheme therapies. Other approaches and referrals may be used where appropriate based on a thorough assessment of individual needs.
