Ami Brooks
Clinical Psychologist
I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist in the UK, specialising in work with children, young people and their families. I have particular clinical interest in chronic conditions (e.g. diabetes, epilepsy, Tourette's and respiratory conditions) and currently run an NHS service for paediatric psychology. I also have experience in working in CAMHS and with children who are Looked After or adopted. I am also interested in working with adults to support their mental wellbeing, relationships and career/ life goals.
My approach
My main therapeutic approaches are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, narrative and systemic approaches and solution focused therapy. I also have training in EMDR and CFT. I believe that assessment and formulation should be therapeutic, and approach all my work in this way. I take a whole-family approach, offering support 1:1 to children, parents and siblings, as well as whole family sessions and parent-led child-focused interventions.
I also offer supervision to aspiring and experienced Clinical/ Health Psychologists, and training on specialist topics, such as tics and Tourette's.
