Dr Meherangiz Press first began her training with an MSc in Clinical Psychology at Regent’s University London, before going on to complete a DCPsych in Counselling Psychology at Regent’s University London. Her path has taken her through the NHS and private practice, where she has supported adults, and into physical health psychology, particularly chronic pain management, which has shaped the way she now works with clients.
In the therapy room, Dr Press brings an integrative and person-centred approach. She draws on training in Schema Therapy (ST), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), psychodynamic therapy, and existential therapy, but most importantly, she adapts what she does to fit the person in front of her. Dr Press believes in tailoring therapy to the individual, creating a safe space where clients can explore relational and intrapsychic patterns and feel empowered to make 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 Press works with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, work-related stress, life transitions, ADHD, ASD, and OCD. She is particularly passionate about supporting people through difficult life transitions such as migration, bereavement, or changes in relationship status, working with individuals in their unique social, political, and psychological context, and integrating mind-body approaches into her work.
Alongside her therapy work, Dr Press has conducted research in the experience of grief in refugees and has published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at international conferences, reflecting her passion for social justice and applied psychological research.
