Clinical Psychologists are highly skilled health professionals trained in identifying and treating mild to severe distress and providing the varied treatments that can be beneficial. Annemarie has over fifteen years’ experience of assessing, understanding and treating a range of diagnoses and psychological difficulties spanning mild to complex. She has a particular interest in complex anxiety presentations, perfectionism and communication skills.
Annemarie started her career in psychology in NHS forensic services, following which she worked for various NHS community services treating adults with complex and chronic mental health problems. In 2010 she became part of the Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma (CADAT) team at the Maudsley Hospital where she worked as a national specialist treating people with body image concerns or Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Annemarie presents at international anxiety conferences, supports anxiety charities and is an active participant in movements across the City to improve wellbeing and inform people about anxiety, stress and staying well.
She has worked in the private sector for the past ten years and, in that time, has gained important experience and working partnerships that complement her corporate clinical offerings.
As a scientist and practitioner she is constantly looking to evolve and improve available treatments and approaches to mental well-being and illness. She has a particular passion for modernising traditional clinical psychology and making it more personally impactful and accessible to all.
Annemarie founded themindworks, a private psychology practice centrally located in the City of London, in 2012 to provide high quality treatment options for those accessing private psychological intervention. In 2019, she merged her busy clinic with a tech company to realise her vision of transforming how we access and benefit from the skills inherent in clinical psychology; she is now the clinical director at HelloSelf.
Through both the HelloSelf clinic and collaboration with A Resilient Mind, Annemarie and her team of specialist clinical psychologists provide organisations access to the clinical psychology skillset. Their specialisms include addiction, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders and chronic health conditions and they provide this through in-house provision (in-office or online), direct help line to a clinical director and priority booking options for individual support and treatment.
