Dr Alison Flynn

I am a Clinical Psychologist offering a range of individual, group and professional services. 

​

I offer therapy to adults, children and families, as well as ADHD diagnostic assessments for children and adolescents. 

​​

I provide clinical supervision, case consultation, reflective practice and training to mental health, social care, education, legal and forensic professionals.

​​

I have nineteen years of experience in mental health and twelve years' experience working in the NHS, where I am currently a Neurodevelopmental Pathway Lead in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service. I have also worked in schools, charities and prisons, giving me a sense of how psychology can be applied outside of the therapy room. 

​

I have worked as an Honorary Clinical Tutor for the UCL Professional Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, taught on the Tavistock's MSc in Psychological Therapies with Children, Young People and Families (M34) and examined viva for the UEL Professional Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.
