About Us

Contact Us

The Chelsea Psychology Clinic was developed out of a passion to deliver high quality mental health care within a private setting. With 20+ years experience working within the NHS, our founders – Dr Elena Touroni and Dr Tom Pennybacker – are specialists in their respective fields. Their mission was to bring this same level of expertise to the private sector in order to offer high quality, evidence-based psychological and psychiatric care with the best outcomes.

 

At its heart, therapy itself is a human experience. We firmly believe therapy is most effective when it is personalised to fit the individual rather than the other way round. This is why all of our psychologists are trained in multiple therapy modalities and why we also offer a comprehensive assessment process.

 

But first and foremost, we want our clients to feel cared for from the first moment they enter the clinic and throughout their therapy journey. We’ve spent a lot of time creating a safe, welcoming environment where people feel held in mind and looked after. A place where you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing you’re not alone in it all anymore… We’re here to support and guide you to better mental wellbeing so you can unlock your full potential and become the best version of you.

December 9, 2024 No Comments

Dr Marina Hilleary is a Clinical Psychologist working in the NHS and private practice. She completed her BSc in Psychology at the University of Exeter, graduating with first-class honours and was subsequently awarded an MSc in Mental Health Studies and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King’s College London.

Dr Hilleary has 9 years of clinical experience in various NHS mental health settings, her current position being on a Specialist Adolescent Team at a Community Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS). She has a specialist interest in working with children, young people and their families and has worked with young people presenting with a wide range of difficulties including depression, low self-esteem, anxiety (specific phobias, GAD, social anxiety, separation anxiety, panic and OCD), PTSD, behaviours that challenge and additional neurodevelopmental needs.

Dr Hilleary is experienced in carrying out comprehensive psychological assessments (including cognitive assessments) and recognises the importance of working towards a shared understanding of the presenting difficulties to enable a positive therapeutic outcome. She draws on a range of evidence-based psychological therapies and models, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness-Based approaches. In addition, Dr Hilleary utilises systemic family approaches when working with young people and their families.

Dr Hilleary adopts an integrative, compassionate and person-centred approach to engage young people, building their motivation to participate in decisions around their care plan and achieve their therapeutic goals. She works creatively with her clients and, where appropriate, alongside any of their important support systems.
