Dr Alison Roberts
I am a Clinical Psychologist and BABCP accredited CBT practitioner. I have worked for the NHS since 1999 in a broad range of clinical settings across the lifespan. I worked for 8 years at the Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma at the Maudsley Hospital. Most of my work there was for the Highly Specialised Service working with people who had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or Body Dysmorphic Disorder which hadn't responded to previous treatment. I now work for Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust as part of the Neurodevelopmental Service. In this role I assess adults for possible Autism and provide psychological treatment for adults with Tics/Tourette’s Syndrome. Outside of that role I provide supervision and training to clinicians about adapting talking therapies to be more accessible for Neurodivergent people including a monthly supervision group at the Oxford Health Specialist Psychological Intervention Centre.
