About Dr. Rebecca Money - Clinical Psychologist in Nottingham
DClinPsy, BSc (Hons)
Pronouns: She/her
I am Dr. Rebecca Money, a Private Clinical Psychologist and EMDR Therapist based in Nottingham. I provide psychological therapy and psychological assessment for young people and adults, both in person in Nottingham and online. My in person clinic is at the Bay Therapy Centre, West Bridgford and Lady Bay.
I have worked in mental health services since 2012, including NHS, local authority, and the private sector.
I continue to work in the NHS alongside running Dr Rebecca Money Psychological Services, which I set up in 2022.
I have experience offering psychological therapy for various mental health difficulties, alongside specialist assessments such as cognitive and neurodevelopment assessment. I also have experience offering clinical supervision for professionals and delivering bespoke training and workshops.
I have completed extensive training to the highest standard. I have completed a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy) and Bsc (Hons) Psychology. I am a registered member of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
I draw on a range of evidence-based psychological approaches, tailoring therapy to your individual needs, circumstances, and goals. The therapeutic approaches I am trained in and commonly use include:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT helps you develop greater psychological flexibility, or find ways to help you to unhook from overwhelming thoughts and and feelings. ACT helps you to learn new ways of respond in those moments, to focus on making meaningful changes, and to move towards the things that are important to you, even when life feels challenging.
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
CFT can be particularly helpful if you experience self-criticism, shame, low self-esteem or feelings of inadequacy. It supports you to develop a kinder and more compassionate relationship with yourself, while building skills to manage difficult emotions. CFT can be a helpful approach when trying to understand some of the links between past and present experiences.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT explores the links between your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviours. It can help you understand patterns that may be maintaining psychological difficulties and develop more helpful ways of thinking and responding. CBT can be useful in understanding cycles of feeling stuck, exploring both present strategies but past links.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
ERP is a specialised form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), particularly used in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It involves gradually facing situations, thoughts or sensations that trigger anxiety or distress, while learning to reduce or resist compulsive behaviours and other responses that may maintain the cycle of OCD. Treatment is carefully paced and tailored to your individual needs, and can include the support of family members.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a psychological therapy that can help people process past events that may distressing or traumatic and that continue to affect them. It aims to reduce the emotional impact of difficult memories and can help you develop a greater sense of safety and wellbeing. EMDR can be a helpful intervention for trauma or PTSD, however, it can also be effective for other presentations such as self-criticism or anxiety.
I also have training and experiencing in specialist neurodevelopment assessment (Autism / ADHD) and adapting psychological intervention for those who are neurodivergent.
Talking about your vulnerabilities can be hard, so it is important to me that clients feel heard, understood, and safe in sessions.
Research has shown that the therapeutic relationship is key to supporting change. During each of our sessions we explore topics about your mood and mental health that are important to you. We also explore more about who you are as a person outside of any mental health struggles, to help reconnect with strengths and values. I hold a trauma-informed approach across my work, curiously exploring ‘what has happened?’, rather than ‘what is wrong?’. I also work from a neuro-affirming standpoint, holding space for struggles that neurodivergent individuals often experience whilst also encouraging strength and resource to help individuals thrive.
In our sessions, I take time to understand you as an individual and explore what may be contributing to the difficulties you are experiencing. Together, we will develop a shared understanding of your mental health, drawing on evidence-based psychological approaches and, where you wish, involving people who are important to you. This can sometimes be referred to as a psychological formulation.
This shared understanding can help us identify what may be keeping difficulties going and, most importantly, what could help. We can then work together to identify realistic and achievable steps towards making positive changes in your life.
