Tina Howard

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist currently practising in the NHS in Wales. I have experience helping clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and eating disorders. My main model of working is Schema Therapy, which is an integrative approach that brings together elements from cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoanalysis, attachment theory and emotion focused therapies. Schema Therapy aims to help patients understand their core emotional needs and to learn ways of meeting those needs adaptively. It focuses extensively on the processing of memories of aversive childhood experiences, making use of experiential techniques to change negative emotions related to such memories.
