Dr Jessica Matcham

Clinical Psychologist & EMDR Therapist

Poole, Dorset & Online

I’m a HCPC‑registered Clinical Psychologist offering psychological therapy and adult autism and ADHD assessments. Based between Bournemouth and Poole, I offer in person support as well as online appointments. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, trauma, and low self-esteem, and have a particular interest in supporting those who have been late‑diagnosed as autistic or ADHD.

​

Psychological therapy provides an opportunity to reflect on yourself and life's challenges, to help make sense of them and figure out ways of making lasting positive change. ​As a clinical psychologist, I take an integrative approach to therapy and draw on a range of models to tailor our work to suit your needs. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. I am also interested in exploring deeper psychological patterns using parts work informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS). I find individualising the approach and techniques offered to clients can be beneficial in supporting their therapeutic journey. Find out more about what to expect from therapy here.

If you’re ready to start making sense of things and to develop a more compassionate understanding of yourself, you’re welcome to get in touch.

Please note I do not work with people under the age of 18.​

"Jess’s practical, psychological-tools-based approach quickly helped me to unpick the emotional turmoil I was experiencing. Through therapy I have found answers to questions and processed trauma that I had pushed to the side and assumed I was ‘over’. I leave therapy with a much better understanding of how my mind works, and crucially now know how to process those emotions more effectively."
