Dr Iona Bird

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist (Registration Number PYL043048) currently working in the NHS whilst delivering evidence-based therapy and assessments in private practice. I work with adolescents and adults and have over a decade of experience across various mental health settings, including charities, schools, inpatient wards and community settings. I can help with a wide range of difficulties, with particular expertise in working with: Anxiety, low mood and/or sense of self-worth, relationship and attachment trauma, struggles with change or life transitions, childhood abuse, and eating distress or disorders.

I am trained to a doctoral level in a range of therapeutic models, with a specialist interest in a psychodynamic approach, that means therapeutic work will be tailored to your difficulties. I endeavour to have a therapeutic approach that is compassionate and simultaneously supports you in being accountable for making steps towards positive change.

I offer a free introductory call and provide both shorter and longer-term therapy. I am committed to continuous training, ongoing supervision, and staying up to date with the latest research and guidelines.
