Dr Helen Beesley
Chartered Clinical Psychologist
BSC, DClin Psychol, AFBPsS
Specialises in
I have enjoyed working in both clinical and clinical research posts since qualifying as a Clinical Psychologist at the University of Liverpool in 2004. I led the development of a new clinical psychology service in Breast services at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital. During my 11 years at the hospital, I also took a role as Macmillan Principal Clinical Psychologist & Research Lead in a broader psychology service for people affected by various cancer types. My clinical work involved supporting patients affected by illness and their family members using psychological therapy.
I provide assessment and psychological therapy. I am also sometimes asked to see patients for assessment before surgery and can provide support to patients making decisions about treatment. My area of specialism is clinical health psychology; supporting people when psychological difficulties are linked to dealing with physical illness. I also provide more general psychological intervention for depression, anxiety, low self esteem and other issues.
Over the last 15 years I have carried out and published research in clinical health psychology. I continue to publish research with colleagues in the Liverpool Psychology in Cancer Care Research Group. Presently, I work in private practice in Liverpool city centre and Spire Murrayfield and am Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Liverpool.
