DR RICHARD MADRONAL-LUQUE

 

I am a registered Consultant Clinical Psychologist and a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS). I am also professionally registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and have over 20 years of clinical experience of working in the NHS and in private practice. I have experience working with adolescences and adults presenting with various complex physical health and mental health difficulties.

During my career, I have been afforded the opportunity to develop and manage a number of different psychological services, including Secondary Care Psychological Services (i.e. severe & enduring mental health presentations), specialist Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Services and specialist Psychosis Services and specialist Neurodevelopmental Services.

I use a range of different psychological approaches to help me accommodate the fact that people are uniquely different in the way they experience and understand their difficulties. The models and approaches I use include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Family Interventions and Cognitive Narrative Therapy and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET).
