Vanessa Dale-Hewitt

Hi, I am a chartered clinical perinatal psychologist with over 20 years of experience in working with pregnant women who have experienced traumatic births and post traumatic stress symptoms following birth. I offer a compassionate and safe place for you to share your birth story and your experiences with the aim to help and support you through this difficult time. I believe the best way to ensure you get the help you need is to conduct a thorough and compassionate assessment with the aim of developing a comprehensive understanding of your experiences which can be used to develop a tailored intervention to meet your specific needs.

I am trained in a range of psychological therapies aimed at relieving the symptoms of trauma such as; Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TR -CBT); Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR); and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), which I draw on when collaborating with you to develop an individually tailored intervention. I offer both online (e-therapy) and face to face therapy, depending on your needs. If you want to learn more about me and the services I offer, please visit my website www.mindsinharmony.co.uk where you will be able to email or contact me directly.
