Dr Emanuela Grima

Dr Emanuela Grima first began her training with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology at the University of Exeter, before going on to complete an MSc in Neuroscience at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy) at the University of Birmingham. Her path has taken her through NHS inpatient and outpatient services, supporting children, young people, adults, and older adults, and into neurodevelopmental and mindfulness-focused approaches, which has shaped the way she now works with clients.

In the therapy room, Dr Grima brings an integrative and client-centred approach. She draws on training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy (ST), Mindfulness-Based Approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). She has a particular interest in mindfulness-based interventions and compassionate approaches, and strives to create a safe, collaborative, and reflective environment, supporting clients to understand their emotions, develop coping strategies, and cultivate meaningful change.

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 Grima works with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, relationship difficulties, emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and has specialist experience in mindfulness-based approaches. Whatever someone is struggling with, Dr Grima aims to offer support that recognises and respects their unique needs and experiences.

Dr Grima is a qualified Mindfulness trainer. She is also the founder of a Mindfulness Centre in Italy and organises and runs Mindfulness retreats in Umbria, Italy. She has been involved in the development of the clinic’s wellness retreats since 2019.
