Dr Jessica Floris, Chartered Clinical Psychologist, Bagshot, Surrey.
Experience
I have been working in mental health services for 19 years, in the NHS, Social Care and the Voluntary Sector. During this time, I have worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds and all ages. I have worked in a number of different services, before, during and after training as a Clinical Psychologist. For example, I have worked in community and in-patient services, and with adults and children.
I am experienced in working with adults with a variety of difficulties. These difficulties include Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder; mental health or emotional difficulties such as anxiety, depression, or anger; Psychosis and Bipolar Disorder. I have also worked with people who have long-standing difficulties in their relationships with others or a diagnosis of personality disorder.
Training
During the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology training, I trained in a number of different therapies. These included Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Systemic and Psychodynamic approaches. Since qualification, I have also undertaken additional training in Schema therapy, Compassion-Focussed therapy, Mentalization-Based Therapy and Eye Movement, Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. Being trained in these different models allows me to integrate these therapies and tailor a treatment that will be the most helpful and suitable for you.
