Dr Helen Buxton

I am a  registered member of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

My qualifications are:

• BA Hons – University of Cambridge
• MPhil in Psychopathology – University of Cambridge
• Doctorate in Clinical Psychology – University of East Anglia, Norwich
• Post Graduate Diploma in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy – Oxford University

I have over 20 years of experience working with adults with a range of psychological difficulties including depression, anxiety related problems such as obsessive compulsive disorder, panic, stress, health anxiety, worry and phobias, perfectionism, relationship problems and low self esteem.  I have worked mostly within the NHS and for the last 10 years have specialised in working with adults with eating disorders.  I recently left the Adult Eating Disorder Team at the Maudsley Hospital, London in order to re-locate to Edinburgh and previous to this worked at the specialist Eating Disorder Service at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge. Within my private practice I see adults with a range of psychological difficulties including depression, different forms of anxiety, low self esteem, perfectionism, Bulimia Nervosa and Binge Eating Disorder.

In both London and Cambridge, I worked with clients from many different countries and also with young adults especially as I was taking part in a trial for intervening quickly with people aged 18-25 who had been recently diagnosed with an eating disorder.
