Dr Charlotte Watson

Biography

I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist, having completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London. I have spent over fourteen years employed within the NHS, working with both children and adults. I first became interested in the field of eating disorders in 2009.

approach to treatment

I am warm and welcoming and strive to work collaboratively with people, utilising their inner strengths to improve psychological wellbeing. I aim to create a non-judgemental, safe and containing therapeutic space. I work with adults, but primarily work with children, adolescents, and young adults with eating difficulties, as well as their families, using evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as CBT-E and family based treatments. I also draw upon my knowledge of other therapeutic models to create a tailored approach. I am aware that neurodiversity can require additional adaptations and am passionate about making treatment as accessible as possible for everyone.

areas of interest / specialism

My Clinical Psychology Doctorate thesis explored the experiences of women who developed restrictive eating behaviours after Bariatric Surgery. I have presented to international audiences on work relating to people who have eating difficulties and diabetes, as well as how we can support siblings of people with eating disorders, an area I am particularly interested. Alongside TLC I work as a Principal Clinical Psychologist in an NHS inpatient eating disorder service.
