My name is Dr Abigail Goss but everyone calls me Abby.I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and Registered Practitioner Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). In addition to working as Lead Counselling Psychologist within Berkshire Healthcare Foundation Trust (NHS) for IPASS Pain, I am also in private practice offering online psychological therapy for a range of mental and physical health conditions.My experience covers a range of different services both within the NHS and Charity Sector. I currently work in the NHS as Lead Psychologist for an award winning Pain Management Service but also have experience working in Community Mental Health Teams, Drug and Alcohol Services and in the field of Intellectual Disabilities. I also have a special interest in working therapeutically with individuals who identify as being on the Autistic Spectrum or who are adjusting following a diagnosis. The list below gives an indication of the conditions that I have experience working with.I believe in working collaboratively with clients to find what psychological approach works best for them. Assessment and formulation are key to getting a good understanding of your difficulties and working out with you what changes you would like to make. I tend to work integratively using the most appropriate parts of different therapeutic models and am trained in the following therapeutic approaches: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Person Centred Counselling and MIndfulness Techniques.
