I’m Dr Tom Payne. I’m a qualified, HCPC registered, Clinical Psychologist with over fifteen years of experience in the NHS and private practice.

My aim is helping you make sense of your difficulties with compassion, understanding and expertise. I will do this by offering you a confidential and safe space to talk through your problems.

I am trained to work with a wide range of issues, drawing on different ways of working, including Psychodynamic Therapy, Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT), Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) or Compassion-Focused Therapy.

If you are unsure about therapy or have any questions, then don’t worry – feel free to look through the FAQs or contact me for any further information.

If you are thinking about starting therapy, please contact me by phone or email and we can discuss it together.
