Services

Psychological Therapy for Adults

Empower Clinical Psychology helps individuals address a broad spectrum of emotional and mental health difficulties, including:

• Generalised anxiety and panic disorders

• Specific phobias and social/performance anxiety

• Obsessive compulsive disorder and body image issues

• Post-traumatic stress and traumatic grief

• Low self-worth, emotional dysregulation, and self-harm

• Depression, post-natal depression, and adjustment disorders

• Burnout, existential challenges, and work-related stress

Every therapy plan is tailored after a careful assessment process, helping clients not only manage their symptoms but also reconnect with a sense of purpose and value in their lives. Therapy draws on a broad range of models, always adapted to suit individual needs.

Dr Santhouse understands that not everyone can clearly define their difficulties at the outset. If you’re unsure whether this service is right for you, an initial discussion can help clarify your needs and direct you to appropriate support.

Expert Witness Assessments

Dr Santhouse is trained in producing psychological injury reports for legal proceedings, including cases involving road traffic accidents, industrial incidents, and violent assaults. With formal training from Bond Solon in report writing and courtroom skills, she delivers professional, objective assessments that meet the rigorous standards required by legal frameworks.

Clinical Supervision

Empower also offers supervision to Clinical Psychologists, CBT therapists, and multidisciplinary teams. Supervision can focus on developing clinical skills, therapeutic confidence, or progressing toward accreditation such as with BABCP. Dr Santhouse uses a broad, integrative supervisory style, drawing from her extensive training at the University of Manchester and IAPT regional programmes.

She is a British Psychological Society-accredited applied psychology practice supervisor and regularly supports professionals at various stages of their careers.
