My name is Dr Elina Telford, known both personally and professionally as 'Linnie'. I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist who specialises in providing talking therapy for children and young people who experience mental health distress and other concerns that impact impact on their quality of life. I also specialise in family work for a broad range of difficulties.
Talking therapies are accessed by people across the life span to support them with lots of different concerns and situations, for example but not limited to: mental health concerns; difficult life events; relationship difficulties at home and/or in other settings; and for those going through a bad time or has emotional problems that they need help with. The type of talking that takes place in a therapy session is dependent on the needs of the client(s), the nature of the difficulty and therapeutic goals, which are developed collaboratively through assessment, formulation and ongoing review.
I am a friendly Clinical Psychologist, who is empathic, warm and sensitive. I position myself as a non-blaming, bespoke, person-centred therapist, who uses evidence based interventions to meet individual and family need(s). I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to help you identify whether I am a good fit to support and help you and your family at this time.
