About Dr Katy Filer Jackson
I am a chartered psychologist, accredited counsellor and hypnotherapist. I have been working with clients for over 25 years, both in NHS and private practice.
My work as a counsellor & psychologist is strongly influenced by years of training and practice in Complementary Medicine and Chinese Medicine, and this sets me apart from other therapists. I strongly believe that the processes of mind and body are inter-related, and that our overall health is a complex web that includes our physical, emotional, spiritual health, lifestyle, relationships, social support & community.
I have a special interest in working with adults affected by illness, pain, anxiety, stress and trauma; and children affected by insomnia, exam stress and phobias. I have worked with female victims of domestic violence, in Occupational Health at the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, and volunteered for a charity that assists members of the ultra orthodox Jewish community wishing to explore a more secular life.
I regularly give academic lectures on aspects of psychology and mental health, and I teach Counselling Skills at Leo Baeck College. I work part-time at Chai Cancer Care, as well as in my thriving private practice.
My clinic is in North London. It’s a peaceful, safe space for us to work together in comfort. I am currently conducting my session online, on zoom, or on the telephone.
