Fern Young
Forensic PsychologistHi there, I’m Fern Young, a Chartered and Registered Forensic Psychologist. I have worked in a variety of settings, including Her Majesty’s Prison Service, the National Health Service, and private forensic and mental health care settings.
I work with a range of severe and enduring mental health issues, including Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (Borderline Personality Disorder), eating disorders, psychosis, anxiety, and other mood-related disorders, as well as complex trauma. I have a particular interest in working with individuals who have received comorbid diagnoses. I have specialist training in assessing personality difficulties and I am also trained to assess neurodevelopmental difficulties, such as Autism Spectrum Disorders.
As your psychologist, we will work collaboratively using a compassion-focused and integrative approach. I am experienced in using a number of therapeutic approaches, drawing on a variety of psychological models such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I am also trained in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and often find the techniques and skills incredibly beneficial for a variety of clients.
I believe that everyone deserves a life worth living, and I am passionate about supporting you in understanding the challenges that bring you to therapy. I offer online therapy via video call in the evenings, with some daytime sessions available, providing a flexible approach.
I am committed to transparent and ethical practice, and I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS).
