Kirsten Stoyell

Clinical Psychologist, HCPC Registered Expert

Education and Practice

I have been practicing as an independent clinical psychologist since 2021. However, I began my training in 2012 and have extensive practical and theoretical experience. I have worked as part of multi-disciplinary teams in large psychiatric units, as well as running my own practice. I treat adults who are experiencing psychological distress from narcissistic, emotional and psychological abuse.

I work from a systemic paradigm which sees the person in context. I am highly skilled at working interactionally, and have a person-centred approach. I have been trained to level III in Interactional Pattern Analysis (Cave, 2020; Vorster, 2014) which is a tool that helps with understanding an individual’s unique interactional patterns and assists with formulating a solution to each person. I also work with brain-based techniques such as Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems which are unique therapeutic interventions for trauma, anxiety, grief and many more issues.

I believe that although we can talk about trauma, it ultimately needs to be resolved at both a neurological and physical level alongside talking therapy.

Training, qualifications & experience

I work with adults who have suffered from emotional, psychological and narcissistic abuse. Whether it be from a family system, partner, or work environment - psychological and emotional abuse often leaves scars that are very deeply rooted. Some of this abuse may not even be obvious to begin with. Through therapy, I help my clients unpack their experiences, and together we build on coping tools, and processing of the trauma through somatic and brain-based interventions.

Additionally, I have experience working with other mental health issues from severe psychiatric disorders to day-to-day difficulties with coping with stressors.

I offer a friendly, personalised approach to therapy and believe that through therapy, you can go on to live a fulfilling life.
