My name is Dr Kathryn Pemberton and I'm a Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and hold Chartered status with the British Psychological Society (BPS). 

 

After gaining a first class honours degree in Psychology, I trained to be Clinical Psychologist on the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology course at Lancaster University, graduating in 2011.

​

I have extensive experience of working with adults on difficulties such as eating disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma and relational difficulties.

 

I am also a qualified Practitioner and Supervisor in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) and a member of the Association of Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT).  I really like the CAT approach (you can read more about CAT here) as it's collaborative, respectful - and it can really help.

​

To me, therapy shouldn’t be boring or something to worry about, it should be interesting, sometimes even exciting but always focussed, goal driven and feel safe.

​

As a clinical psychologist, I am trained in many different approaches and I hold the importance of our therapeutic relationship  as a central part of the work.  This is one of the reasons why I have found CAT really useful. The clients I have worked with have given such positive feedback about their experience with me using CAT that this is the main approach I now use in therapy.
