Dr Jen Bateman

DClinPsy, BSc(Hons), AFBPsS

Clinical Psychologist

Works With Ages 18 and above

Philosophy

I’m Jen and I’m looking forward to meeting you. I’m a warm and empathic psychologist, providing a space where you will be heard and supported. I’ve experienced my own times of emotional distress, so I understand it takes courage to reach out for help. I will see your potential and hold this vision for you throughout our therapeutic journey together.

Approach

I’m highly qualified, with a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology and an honours degree in Psychology. I’m Chartered with the British Psychological Society and a registered Practitioner Psychologist with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC). I’m therefore trained to deliver a range of evidence-based therapies and will offer you the therapeutic approach that best suits your needs and goals. I have particular expertise in cognitive behavioural therapy, schema therapy, mindfulness, compassionate and acceptance and commitment therapies.

I have over 10 years experience supporting clients in private practice. Alongside this I’ve worked with clients with a range of psychological difficulties in numerous NHS services across London, including Central & North West London NHS Trust and South West London & St George’s NHS Trust.

Motivation

I believe that life is short and we all deserve to live our fullest possible lives. Understanding ourselves better through therapy can really help us live on purpose; so I feel very privileged to do the work I do.

As well as supporting clients, I’m the author of two 5* Amazon rated books and have been extensively published in peer-reviewed journals. I was very honoured to be named an ‘Outstanding Educator’ Finalist in the Quality in Care Awards and a ‘World Diabetes Day Hero’ by the International Diabetes Federation.

I’m a passionate educator and have been an invited speaker to audiences ranging from four to four hundred throughout the US, Canada, the United Arab Emirates and Europe.

About me

I love spending time by the sea, walking in nature and escaping into a good book or movie. I’ve run a half-marathon and a triathlon but have now hung up my running shoes and prefer the gentler movement of yoga…although I’m not very graceful (yet!).

Recent Testimonials

“Therapy has improved my life in a big way. It has enabled me to think and act positively, and cope with every day stress and anxiety. As a direct result of the tools I have gained, I am a much happier person. I cannot recommend Dr Gray highly enough, and would encourage anyone who is struggling to give therapy a go”.
