About Dr.
Charlie Staniforth

I’m a Clinical Psychologist with 20 years’ experience working across settings including community, in-patient and social care settings. I work mainly with adolescents and adults who have common mental health problems including anxiety, OCD and PTSD. Areas of special interest and expertise include complex trauma, OCD and adjustment difficulties. I am an EMDR UK accredited EMDR practitioner and have undertaken further specialist training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.  I work flexibly, utilising philosophies and strategies from multiple models. A treatment plan will be based on a collaborative understanding of needs, developed alongside the client.

Other areas of special interest include supporting clinical teams who are working with complexity and coaching individuals to enhance their performance at work or quality of life.

I’m a compassionate and dedicated psychologist who can provide a safe space for individuals to explore themselves, make changes and feel confident to move forwards with their lives. I am currently offering online and in person sessions in Northamptonshire.
