About Dr Robin Colley

People often get in touch when things have started to feel confusing, overwhelming, or stuck. Sometimes this relates to anxiety, behaviour, school difficulties, or questions about autism or ADHD. My aim is to offer a calm, thoughtful space where we can understand what is going on and consider helpful next steps.

Background and Training

I am a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist with doctoral-level training. Alongside my private practice, I work part-time in the NHS within community paediatrics, where my work focuses largely on neurodevelopmental differences and trauma.

Over the course of my career I have worked across NHS services, private practice and community settings, supporting children, young people, adults and families.

Clinical Experience

My work has included psychological assessment, therapy, consultation and supervision. In private practice I support people with a range of difficulties including:

• anxiety

• low mood

• trauma

• attachment and relationship difficulties

• brain injury

• questions around autism and ADHD.

Areas of Interest

I have a particular interest in neurodevelopmental differences such as autism and ADHD, and in complex or long-standing difficulties that may not have been fully understood before.

I aim to provide careful, high-quality assessments and therapy that help people make sense of their experiences and move forward in a way that feels manageable and meaningful.

Approach

My style is thoughtful, collaborative and evidence-based. I draw on a range of psychological approaches and adapt these to each person’s needs. This may involve working directly with individuals, supporting parents, or thinking together about patterns that have developed over time.
