Dr Matilda Moffett

I have been a clinical psychologist for 17 years and through my previous NHS role and independent practice, I have built up experience and knowledge working with a range of clients with mental health issues including anxiety, phobias, depression, weight management needs and bariatric surgery as well as eating disorders.

My private work has continued and in 2016 I co-founded Select Psychology in Tynemouth where I have a regular clinic. In 2020 left the NHS to focus on my independent practice and continue to work within the NICE guidance and maintain strong collaborative links with NHS professionals working in private practice.

I have a warm and friendly style that allows people to feel at ease and talk about their issues in a way that feels comfortable. My work is always non-judgmental and it is important to me to have an individually tailored and collaborative approach. This allows people opportunity to better understand and address their issues through developing coping skills and ultimately achieve their goals in therapy.

I specialise in psychological assessment pre and post bariatric surgery and supporting people with weight management needs.

I have built up a number of evidence based therapy skills and experience working with a range of mental health issues. Therapeutic interventions include cognitive behavioural therapy, compassion focused therapy, ACT and EMDR therapy.

I have extensive experience working alongside surgical teams and coordinating with hospital operating staff offering a thorough service and prompt response. Since 2009 I have performed more than 450 psychological assessments for bariatric and cosmetic surgery.

Please note at Spire Washington Hospital I only provide consultations to patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
