Dr Louise Hood began her training with a BSc (Hons) Psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London, before completing her DPsych Counselling Psychology at the University of East London. Her path has taken her through private practice, the NHS, and community services, shaping the way she now works with clients.
In the therapy room, Dr Hood brings an integrative and collaborative approach. She draws on training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy (ST), Psychodynamic Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Mindfulness-Based Approaches, and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). She places great importance on creating a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, believing that meaningful change begins within a secure relational space.
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 Hood works with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD, trauma, bereavement, relationship difficulties, interpersonal difficulties, emotional distress, emotional dysregulation, self esteem difficulties, personality disorders, OCD, panic disorder, social anxiety, phobias, and adjustment difficulties/disorder. Whatever someone is struggling with, Dr Hood aims to offer support that recognises and respects their unique needs and experiences.
