Hilary Priestman

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the British Psychological Society (BPS). I have delivered and led psychological services over the last 40 years, mostly in the NHS but also working for NHS England and latterly some public inquiry work. I am now semi-retired but continue to offer the following services: –

Consultation/Supervision and Mentoring

I am able to provide consultation and clinical supervision to other mental health professionals and I am an accredited Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) supervisor. I am also happy to offer mentoring, and have most relevant experience for psychologists working in an NHS setting. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your requirements.

Workplace Wellbeing/ Leadership

As an associate of Gloucestershire Psychology Services I offer a range of workplace wellbeing and leadership workshops.

I have held a number of senior roles within the NHS (inc NHS England) and completed a two year Leadership programme for women in the NHS (through the South West Leadership Academy).

Individual Psychological Therapy Sessions

I am an experienced psychological therapist and over the years have met with people experiencing a wide range of issues and concerns.

I am trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches, and will draw upon these in response to each individual and their own hopes and aspirations for therapy.   

I have undertaken accredited trainings in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) and am an accredited therapist and supervisor in this model. I also completed the Advanced Psychotherapy training in CAT.

Additional trainings that have a big influence on my practice include: Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Mentalisation Based Therapy (MBT).

Please note, I currently offer a limited number of one to one sessions:

• Online (Tuesday afternoons)
• Face to face: Thursday mornings. Venue – Southgate House, Southgate Street, Gloucester, GL1 1UB
