Having worked as a Senior Psychologist in the NHS alongside private practice she is experienced in providing a safe and supportive environment for people experiencing a wide range of challenges.

Dr Lawson is trained interactively, meaning she can draw upon a range of evidence based therapeutic models to best suit your needs and goals including CBT, third wave CBT, schema informed therapy, humanistic counselling and EMDR.
