Dr Nathan Dowling

I am a Principal Lead Clinical Psychologist and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist. My approach centres on understanding a person’s individual experience of the world and the problems they’ve come to live with. This involves us working together to try to understand the particular meaning of one’s difficulties and troubling feelings and how and why such distressing experiences have occurred at this point in life. Such understandings often help people feel less troubled and ‘stuck’, for example with depression, anxiety or traumatic experiences, clearing the way for feeling more settled in oneself and an ability to make changes. I have offered talking therapies to people from a wide variety of backgrounds in Clinical Psychology Departments for over a decade and have specialised in Adult Mental Health. I continue to work within the NHS as a Principal Lead Clinical Psychologist & Psychotherapist and am a registered member of the Black, African and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN). I am registered as a Clinical Psychologist with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a Chartered Member (CPsychol) and Associate Fellow (AFBPsS) of the British Psychological Society (BPS). I am also a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council.
