Dr Anna Kaufman

About Me

I am a Chartered Psychologist and am an accredited Cognitive Analytic Therapist registered with ACAT, the British Psychological Society (BPS) and with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I am now offering CAT and CAT informed therapy alongside other modalities including EMDR and Compassion Focused Therapy.

​

In addition to my private therapy work, I am involved with several other organisations. I currently work as a senior Psychologist within NHS mental health trust in secondary care, where I work with hard to reach individuals with complex psychological needs. 

​​

I have worked in a variety of settings including charity organisations such as SANE and the Holocaust Survivors Centre. I have also worked at the National Problem Gambling Clinic and within Eating Disorder Specialist services, including Rhodes Wood Hospital.

​​

I completed my Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at City University. My doctoral research, under the supervision of Dr Jessica Nielsen-Jones, looked at challenges and barriers to treatment for individuals who had undergone treatment for problem gambling and I have also worked extensively clinically with individuals presenting with disordered gambling. While problem gambling remains an area of expertise, I am interested in working with individuals who wish to understand themselves better.

​​

In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, music and nature.
