A year later, Joanna Prior MSc., BSc., CDMDTP, CCTP I-II, CATP, CFTP, C-PD, Pg.Cert., Pg.Dip., (MBACP) joined the clinic, solidifying its commitment to personalized therapeutic care.

Her continuous pursuit of knowledge, is recognised by her accreditation by reputable organizations such as BABCP and EMDR UK & Ireland/Europe.

Barbara's specialization is in treating adults suffering from PTSD, trauma, depression, mood disturbance, as well as various other anxiety disorders. She specialises in C-PTSD, developmental trauma and attachment based trauma.

Joanna Prior also a trained EMDR Therapist, comes from a background of Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling. She contributes to 'Select' with a friendly, respectful, and non-judgmental approach. Her Integrative Therapy based on the Transtheoretical Model of Change, incorporating CBT, Mindfulness, EMDR, Counselling, and Attachment Theory, reflects her dedication to tailoring therapy to individual client needs.

About Us

Frequently Asked Questions

Select is approved to work through most insurance providers such as:

It’s often a very good idea to access private healthcare insurance to pay for your therapy. Please check that your policy covers you to receive therapy.

Most Insurers will agree to cover costs for an initial set number of sessions but later can extend this depending on progress made in treatment.

In some cases you may need a referral from your G.P. depending on the terms outlined in your policy but this isn’t always necessary so please ask your Insurer first.

Your provider can also contact us on your behalf if you supply them with your chosen therapist’s provider name and number listed in boxes above and they may simply provide you with a ‘pre-authorisation code’, which you can pass to ‘Select’ when treatment begins. We will then invoice your insurer directly to fund your treatment.

Specific Psychological Conditions requiring Therapy

Our work covers a huge spectrum of psychological issues, from minor to complex…and we work to treat a wide variety of conditions, both long-standing and recent onset.

Typical presenting conditions vary from client to client and symptoms can range from stress and anxiety to anger, depression and relationship problems. Often several issues will be present at the same time. We are all unique as human beings and your own particular problems will vary in degree and presentation to everybody else.

As therapists we are able to work with the majority of conditions; however, psychiatry may be more appropriate initially for conditions such as psychosis, bi-polar disorder, personality disorders, schizophrenia, serious drug addiction and complex eating disorders.

If this is the case and you wish to consider medication, or are seeking a medical diagnosis or a medical report, then an appointment with a consultant psychiatrist would be more suitable, and we can direct you in order to arrange this.

If you have a moment please click on the tabs below to read further regarding any current conditions or issues that you may feel of particular concern to you, your family or friend. If you believe we may be of assistance the best way to contact us is usually via email at selecthealthymind@gmail.com or by using the online contact form below and we will endeavour to respond to your queries as soon as possible.


You can also leave a voicemail on the clinic’s main number 01753863179 stating the nature of your enquiry, leaving your name and own contact details to respond to or you can contact Barbara 07514071824.or Joanna on 07702581165 directly. Please note however, that therapists are often in sessions so are unable to answer calls during these times so email enquiry is the best way of receiving an early response as these messages are checked most regularly.


If you feel that your particular worries do not appear below or even differ slightly, please also feel free to contact us anyway, as we can discuss this and hopefully we would be able to direct you to another professional that works in the field that may offer greater assistance.
