Consultant Clinical Psychologist
With over 30 years of experience in both the NHS and private sectors, Dr Jackie Allt is a dedicated Consultant Clinical Psychologist specialising in adult mental health. Her approach is warm and approachable, fostering collaboration with her clients to create a trusting environment tailored to their unique needs. Recognising that taking the first step towards seeking help can often be challenging, Dr Allt employs a down-to-earth style, making it easier for clients to engage in the therapeutic process.
Dr Allt draws on a diverse therapeutic skillset, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), schema therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion and Mindfulness-based approaches, brief psychodynamic therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). This allows her to support clients to alleviate their distress and provide effective strategies for clients facing various challenges, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, anxiety (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, panic, generalised, social, and health anxiety), depression, burnout, workplace stress, interpersonal difficulties, and bereavement. She also has extensive experience supporting individuals living with long-term health conditions and is equipped to work with clients interested in either short-term or longer-term therapy.
In her role as Chief Psychologist for a prominent NHS trust, Dr Allt successfully led award-winning psychological therapy services, including one of the highest-performing NHS Talking Therapies services in the country. She was instrumental in evolving a staff support hub for a large NHS trust during the COVID-19 pandemic which has continued to expand, emphasising workplace wellbeing and resilience in high pressure environments. Her doctorate research investigated burnout and vicarious trauma which positions her to be highly skilled to work with city workers experiencing stress and burnout in relationship to their demanding jobs. Dr Allt also has significant experience working with clients and leaders who are neurodivergent, supporting people to thrive and feel understood.
Dr Allt’s leadership experience is complemented by her commitment to coaching and mentoring others in the field, contributing to positive client outcomes and promoting organisational wellbeing. Dr Allt is also a trained supervisor with extensive experience in supervising therapists at every level.
