Dr Claire McGoldrick first began her training with a BSc in Psychology at Maynooth University, Ireland, before completing an MSc in Applied Psychology at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychologyat the University of Glasgow. Her path has taken her through roles in the NHS and private practice, working with people across the lifespan and in specialist services for neurodegenerative diseases and severe and enduring mental illness, shaping the way she now works with clients.
In the therapy room, Dr McGoldrick brings a flexible, integrative approach, drawing on training in Systemic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). She adapts what she does to meet the individual needs of clients and works collaboratively to support both individuals and their wider systems where relevant.
All clinicians at The Chelsea Psychology Clinic are trained to conduct comprehensive assessments, considering you as a whole person rather than a specific issue. They tailor treatment and integrate multiple therapeutic perspectives to create a plan that is both evidence-based and uniquely suited to you.
Dr McGoldrick works with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress/burn out, phobias, panic disorder, complex trauma, bereavement, health anxiety, sleep difficulties, pain management, and adjustment difficulties/disorder/illness. Whatever someone is struggling with, Dr McGoldrick aims to offer support that recognises and respects their unique needs and experiences.
