I work with children, young people and neurodivergent adults experiencing a range of emotional, behavioural and neurodevelopmental difficulties, including anxiety, trauma, OCD and challenges linked to neurodiversity.

​

With over a decade of experience, my approach is thoughtful, collaborative and tailored to the individual. I aim to understand the wider picture, not just the immediate difficulty, so that support is meaningful and genuinely useful.

​

I created Bright Path Psychology as a compassionate and affirming space where difference is respected, neurodiversity is understood and people are supported with curiosity, care and without judgement.

​

I’m an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist and Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society, working in evidence-based, trauma-informed and neuroaffirming ways. You can feel confident that you’re in safe, skilled and caring hands.

Why Clinical Psychology?

Psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, therapists... it can feel like a bit of a minefield! Learn more about the different types of support available and what might be the best fit for you or your child.

Services

At Bright Path Psychology we provide gold standard assessments and evidence based interventions.

Psychological Assessment

Taking time to understand what is happening and what support may be most helpful.

Psychological Therapy

Ongoing therapeutic support, usually offered in a regular weekly or fortnightly slot, tailored to you or your child’s needs.

Autism & Cognitive Assessment

This is for children and adults who may have specific difficulties or questions that would benefit from a more thorough assessment. This could relate to neurodiversity or the way their brains process information and learn.

What People Say About Us

Parent

“I am so grateful for the support Dr Hale gave my child and us as a family. She has a way of making chaos make sense. We have had lots of assessments over the years but Dr Hale gave us what we  have been looking for this whole time, a way of really understanding our child and knowing how to move forwards. I was amazed by how quickly she got the trust of our child too which was no small achievement!"
