Jacqui Finnigan first began her training with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from Aberdeen University, followed by an MSc and Post-MSc in Counselling Psychology at City University, and a specialist PGDip in Systemic and Couples Therapy. Her path has taken her through roles in private practice, NHS outpatient services, day treatment, and corporate sectors, including leadership roles managing psychological services, shaping the way she now works with clients.
In the therapy room, Ms Finnigan brings an integrative, evidence-based approach, drawing on training in Schema Therapy (Advanced Certification), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). She uses these approaches to address longstanding repeating patterns and chronic emotional problems, tailoring her work to each individual to bring about meaningful and lasting 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.
Ms Finnigan works with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, body image difficulties, mood swings, relational difficulties, self-esteem difficulties, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
