Dr Laurie Siddell - Clinical Psychologist at Shore Psychology

Dr Laurie Siddell

Clinical Psychologist

“I”pride myself on being an approachable and compassionate Clinical Psychologist, aiming to provide a safe space to work through any challenges. I believe that prioritising the therapeutic relationship is a key indicator of therapy effectiveness and I work collaboratively with individuals to achieve their goals within therapy and beyond.

I believe that therapy is unique for every individual and actively help support individuals to feel empowered and make sense of what is happening for them, recognising that we cannot always change the circumstances in our lives, but find a way to work through emotions to regain a sense of self.

I hope to provide a personable approach in therapy to help you feel at ease, in a warm and supportive way.

I have over 15 years of experience working with individuals and families experiencing a range of mental health difficulties, including low mood, depression, eating disorders, anxiety disorder, trauma and interpersonal difficulties. Currently, I am also working as a Clinical Psychologist in the NHS. My previous roles have included working in specialist Child and Adult Eating Disorders Services as well as CAMHS.

I have a special interest in how our attachment styles and interpersonal relationships can at times impact and maintain our mental health difficulties and vice versa, particularly in relation to eating disorders and low mood/depression.
