GET TO KNOW ME
My name is Dr Bethany Brown and I am a Clinical Psychologist, Accredited EMDR Practitioner and founder of Anderson Brown Psychology Services Ltd.
I know that coming to therapy can feel daunting, and I aim to create a warm, safe and relaxed environment to help you feel secure. I hope that we can work together, so that you are able to move towards your goals and what’s most important to you in your life.
I have worked in the Health and Social Care sector, with a focus on Psychological Services since 2008. In 2015 I completed a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Glasgow. My doctoral thesis research looked into the coping mechanisms utilised by patients undergoing cancer treatment. I continue to have a specialist interest in and have extensive experience of working with people who are living with physical health conditions/symptoms that are impacting on their emotional well-being. I have also gained vast experience in working with people who are struggling with a variety of presenting difficulties including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, high self-criticism, grief, and panic. I hold a particular interest in working with people to overcome their phobias. Alongside working in and building Anderson Brown Psychology Services, I work part time as a Lead Clinical Psychologist in highly specialist NHS services.
I am qualified to use a number of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Compassionate based approaches. As a Clinical Psychologist I have been trained to take an integrative approach, drawing on different therapeutic models. This allows me to tailor your therapy to your own needs and personal goals. I am passionate about therapy being an empowering process and believe in working in collaboration with my clients. I don’t view therapy as a place where you come to “be fixed” by your Clinical Psychologist. Rather I view it as a place where we work together to understand your situation better and to equip you with the knowledge, tools and confidence to make changes that will allow you to move forward to a more fulfilling, value based life.

A BIT ABOUT THERAPY
At Anderson Brown Psychology Services Ltd, we offer evidence-based psychological therapies tailored to you. We take a person-centred approach and combine different methods to create an individualised treatment plan that fits your unique needs.
Here are some of the most common approaches we use:
​
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT explores how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact. It helps identify unhelpful patterns keeping problems going and teaches practical skills to challenge these, creating healthier ways of thinking and coping.
​
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT is a values-focused approach that supports you to live a meaningful life despite challenges. It uses acceptance and mindfulness skills to help you observe your thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed or controlled by them.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
MBCT combines mindfulness practices with cognitive strategies to increase present-moment awareness. This helps you connect with what matters most and manage difficult emotions, using both formal mindfulness exercises and everyday mindful awareness.
​
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a powerful therapy for trauma, whether major traumatic events like abuse or assault, or everyday difficulties such as phobias and negative experiences. It uses guided bilateral stimulation (like following a therapist’s finger movements) to help your brain process distressing memories and reduce their impact.
