DR RYAN VEAL
CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE
My name is Ryan Veal, a clinical psychologist with experience working with adults in both community and acute inpatient settings.
After an initial meeting with a person in which we get to know one another and discuss their concerns, I refer to a range of models and evidence-based therapies while also tailoring the specific therapy in a collaborative approach to suit the needs of the person. I emphasise person-centred care.
I have experience providing cognitive- and emotion-focused therapy for a range of mental health issues, with particular interest in the impact of past trauma and difficult experiences in the development of a person’s concerns. I am both trained and have experience in providing cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), emotion focussed therapy (EFT), and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR).
In addition, I am a forensic psychologist with an interest in assessing and treating personality disorders and psychometric testing. I am a published researcher in this field.
