Let's Talk Psychology Service

General information

In Northern Ireland one in six people experience problems with their mental health, at any one time. This is not surprising, given the nature of life, and the many difficulties, losses and changes that occur. For some, time will heal the pain, hurt and anxiety experienced. Others seek help in order to better understand their experiences, and resolve their distress.

Psychological Therapy involves meeting a trained professional, and talking about what it is you have been going through. Most of us want somebody to talk to, someone who listens and accepts us just as we are, especially when we are going through a difficult time. Clinical Psychologists are trained to listen attentively and without judgment.

My name is Dr. Kristine Abercrombie. I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist. I have studied and worked within the field of psychology for the past 14 years. I completed a BSc in Applied Psychology and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I am a member of the British Psychological Society and registered with the Health and Care Professionals Council. I am registered with a variety of health insurance companies. I specialize in working with adolescents, adults and older adults, experiencing a wide range of psychological/emotional difficulties.

Clinical Psychologists differ from many other professionals who provide therapy, in that we are trained in a variety of different treatment methods. We are also trained to integrate scientific research and clinical practice, enabling us to enhance current psychological treatments, and facilitate effective psychological services. I assess my clients and decide whether any particular therapy, or indeed combination of therapies, would be most likely to meet their needs
