Siân Armstrong
Expert Practitioner Health Psychologist Specialising in Anxiety, Depression, and Chronic Health Conditions
I'm a health psychologist who works with people experiencing anxiety, depression, and the mental health challenges that often accompany chronic health conditions. I have experience within both the NHS and private healthcare, supporting people as they manage ongoing pain, traumatic injuries, cancer, stroke recovery, weight management, disability, and loss.
My approach is evidence-based, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) to meet clients' diverse needs and to help individuals improve their mental health and overall wellbeing.
I’m also dedicated to service development, having created pain management programs and resources, and I collaborate on projects aimed at improving healthcare globally. I’m also registered with multiple medical insurers.
