Dr Rachel Whatmough

Hi, I am Rachel, a Clinical Psychologist working in Tunbridge Wells. I am the director of The Tunbridge Wells Psychologist (TWP). I have over 13 years of experience working within NHS, charity, private practice and corporate settings, supporting clients affected by a variety of life challenges and psychological difficulties. I support people with both everyday concerns through to more complex psychological difficulties. I am also a trained Mindfulness Teacher.

Everyone is unique. The Tunbridge Wells Psychologist uses a range of approaches to tailor therapy to you and your difficulties and provides an individually tailored treatment approach.

TWP uses evidence-based and effective treatment and therapy approaches including:

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
Compassion focused therapy (CFT)
Mindfulness and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT)
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
Couples Therapy

Many difficulties that people want to focus on improving after short-term therapy (i.e. 6 to 16 sessions), with changes usually being noticed within a few sessions.

Other difficulties can benefit from a longer period of therapy (20 sessions or more). These approaches can be helpful when someone has experienced long-standing patterns difficulty.

TWP will discuss your recommended number of sessions at the end of the first assessment appointment, but you will always be able to make the final choice as to how many sessions you would like and how often you would like them.
