Dr Aurora Falcone Clinical Psychologist
Offering therapy for adults, children & teenagers, couples and families
Therapy offered
I take a flexible and personalised approach, drawing on a range of evidence-based therapies recommended by NICE guidelines. These include CBT, ACT, DBT, CFT, Schema Therapy, Mindfulness-based CBT, Interpersonal Therapy, and both Psychodynamic and Systemic models.
I am an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) trained Therapist and I offer parenting work (I am an accredited Triple-P Parenting Provider). My work is collaborative and transparent, and my therapeutic style is warm and welcoming.
​
During the psychological assessment, we will explore the difficulties that have led you to seek therapy, as well as relevant life history, patterns, and strengths. This process helps develop a shared understanding of your concerns and guides the direction of therapy. The structure and length of therapy will be discussed and reviewed together as we go.
All this is known as the therapeutic contract process. You can read more here.
I use clinical formulations (hypotheses on the presenting difficulties) to help you think about various aspects of your life: for example, early experiences, recent events, factors that keep the problems going, and strengths.
​
I work with a wide range of difficulties: stress, anxiety (including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), trauma and historical experience of abuse, mood issues (including Bipolar Affective Disorder) and depression, low self-esteem and low self-confidence, bereavement and grief, emotional dysregulation and personality problems, antenatal and postnatal struggles, identity issues, adjustment and life transitions (including difficulties adjusting/transitioning to parenthood), communication difficulties in relationships, chronic illness, disrupted sleep / insomnia, parenting struggles, family issues, couple conflict, neurodiversity / neurodivergence (including ADHD and Autism), chronic anger, unusual experiences.
​​
If you find it difficult to know what the ‘problem’ is, whether your concerns are valid; or if you feel a general level of (chronic) dissatisfaction/unhappiness that might not fit a specific diagnostic category, I can offer an extended assessment to identify the most appropriate way of exploring your struggles.
Parenting work
For my parenting work helping families with teenagers, I use the Triple P – Positive Parenting Program, an evidence-based parenting intervention.
For more specific parenting work, I use principles from the Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) approach.
​
All my work is supervised.
