DR JANET PILKINGTON

I am an experienced and dedicated clinical psychologist and compassion is at the heart of who I am, how I work and why I do the work I do. I worked for many years offering psychological therapy across a variety of settings before founding Psychology One-to-One in 2019

 

I founded Psychology One-to-One to offer a high quality, responsive and personalised service and this remains my commitment today. I now have a respected and established service which helps people across Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the North East

 

Please see my Testimonials section for more information about how i have helped others and to see how i can help you

 

In terms of my background, I have worked in a variety of clinical and leadership positions across the NHS, voluntary sector and university settings. ​My first role in the mental health field was working in a day centre for people with a history of complex trauma and this inspired me to train as a clinical psychologist. I completed a BSc in Psychology from Northumbria University and then went on to work in psychiatric and forensic inpatient services, community learning disability services and addictions services before completing a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne

 

I then worked in a Primary Care Psychology Service offering psychological therapy before moving on to work in Crisis Resolution / Home Treatment Teams. Here, I led in the development and implementation of a Clinical Psychology Service and offered psychological interventions to people with a history of trauma and in acute distress

​​

​I subsequently moved into Higher Education where I specialised in offering psychological therapy to students and I also led in the development of the Newcastle University Student Services Mental Health Team
