About DrMariaKaltsi
Welcome! I am a warm and compassionate Senior Clinical Psychologist with 20 years experience of supporting individuals, groups and families. I also work in secondary care mental health services with people who present with a range of difficulties such as shame, self-criticism, dissociation, interpersonal difficulties etc. I hold a non-pathologising view of psychological distress and use a range of models flexibly and creatively to help people address their individual concerns and achieve greater well-being. I also offer individual and group supervision to qualified therapists, and lead Internal Family Systems practice groups.
I have a special interest in working with adults who have experienced trauma bringing together, Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), and Cognitive-Analytic Therapy (CAT), to help people begin the deep healing process that trauma requires.
I am Certified/ Accredited in IFS, EMDR, CAT, and CBT, undertaking ongoing supervision and training. I am registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC), the Association of Cognitive Analytic Therapies (ACAT) and the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy (BABCP).
