Donna Seale, Psychologist in North London

I have trained as a chartered clinical psychologist in London. I started work in the NHS and since 1989 I have worked exclusively in the private sector. I practice mainly CBT, psychotherapy and counselling. Most of my current clinical work is with adults but I have also been trained in work with children and adolescents. I have attended many post-qualification courses.

I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, the government regulating body. I am an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society and adhere to their professional code of ethics.
