Dr Ernest Wagner – Clinical Psychologist
Clinical Psychologist – BSc (Applied Psychology), MSc (Cognitive Neuropsychology), DClinPsy (Doctorate in Clinical Psychology), CPsychol (Chartered Member of British Psychological Society)
I provide private psychology assessment and therapy online, drawing on over 10 years experience working with mental health difficulties and acquired brain injury within community, university, and NHS settings. I continue to be employed in the NHS in the Dept. of Clinical Neuropsychology, specialising in assessment and therapy following major injury.
My expertise is in identifying and understanding difficulties with mood, anxiety, cognitive performance, and relationships. I provide treatment for depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and cognitive rehabilitation. I have experience with complex presentations and working with families, and both short- and long-term work.
Together we can work to empower you to manage difficulties, define your goals and develop strategies to attain them. Whether you prefer a clinical or solution-focused approach, or want a more reflective and relational therapy, I can tailor to your needs. I provide integrative therapy, meaning that I use a variety of evidence-based approaches to suit each individual. Send me a message and let’s set a time for a free 15 minute initial consultation.
My primary areas of expertise are cognitive behavioural science including CBT and ACT, as well as rehabilitation psychology. I also draw on elements of Positive Psychotherapy, and psychodynamic approaches.
Alongside my colleagues, I have published academic papers on Psychosis and, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and asthma. I have completed a doctoral level research project on Value-Directed Living and Psychological Distress in Chronic Conditions.
I have also co-presented at academic conferences, including on Schizophrenia, Youth Mental Health Risk and Resilience Study and at the Centre for Cognitive Ageing and Cognitive Epidemiology. Additionally, I have presented teaching on clinical neuropsychology as an honorary lecturer with Aberdeen University. I have also provided clinical psychology services to a national research study run by the University of Nottingham.
