About Dr Theresa Comer (Clinical Psychologist)

Dr Theresa Comer is one of the Clinical Psychologists here at Newcastle Psychologist & Counselling. She specialises in working with adults with issues including depression, anxiety, body image difficulties, chronic health conditions and hormonal conditions (including menopause).

Theresa uses a range of approaches to help people suffering from a range of problems to overcome their difficulties, including Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

With over 11 years of experience in the NHS and private practice, Theresa has worked across a diverse range of settings, including mental health, learning disability, forensic and health psychology services.

As well as helping adults with the difficulties mentioned above, she has also worked in a specialist eating disorders service, and a chronic pain unit.

Trained and Experienced Psychologist

After completing a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Teesside University, Theresa continued with further training approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Scheme Therapy.

Providing psychotherapy and counselling services in Newcastle and online, Theresa is experienced in helping people who are suffering with depression, anxiety, body image difficulties, identity difficulties, trauma, addiction, chronic health conditions and hormonal conditions. She has also completed advanced training in Transdiagnostic Approaches to Trauma, and in working with the longer-term effects of chronic childhood abuse.

Theresa’s early curiosity about people led her into becoming a Clinical Psychologist, as she was compelled to learn more about how our minds work, and how profoundly environments and experiences can impact people.

She has always been interested in how people can work on their difficulties to make big changes, which drove her to study psychology at degree level, and become an effective and skilled Clinical Psychologist.

Evidence-Based Holistic Approach

Theresa places great emphasis on the strength of therapeutic relationships and trust.

Through compassion, collaboration and providing hope, along with the use of proven psychological models, she helps clients to make sense of their difficulties and understand how they may have developed, so she can then supports them in building strategies to help them move forward.

With a particular interest in holistic health and mindfulness techniques, Theresa is also completing a Naturopathic Biomedicine Diploma, at the College of Naturopathic Medicine. From this, she is able to incorporate holistic evidence from health psychology into her therapy, as well as lifestyle aspects and nutrition, into her approach to clinical psychology and therapy.
