We don’t publish individual clinician profiles on this page. This is a deliberate choice: it means you’re matched to whoever is genuinely right for your situation from the team as it stands, not steered toward whoever has the most polished profile. Our associate team also changes as people’s availability shifts around NHS and other commitments.
What we can tell you, and what doesn’t change, is this: every clinician at Lumina Therapies is a doctoral-level clinical psychologist, registered with the HCPC, working in a maximum of two named specialisms from trauma, personal injury, and long-term health conditions or persistent pain. You’ll be matched to a clinician whose specialisms fit your situation, and told exactly what those specialisms are before you start.
What "the same bar" means
Every clinician at Lumina Therapies is a doctoral-level clinical psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council. We verify that registration directly with the HCPC register before anyone sees a client, and again every year, so nobody can quietly lapse between renewals. Professional indemnity insurance in the clinician’s own name is confirmed at the same annual check, and enrolment in the DBS Update Service is a condition of working with us, which makes that check continuous rather than a certificate filed once at onboarding.
Supervision here is specialist, not general.
Every clinician is in monthly clinical supervision, provided by Lumina, with a supervisor who works in the same territory they do. Supervision is a professional requirement everywhere, but it is usually generic: on a large platform a therapist may be supervised by someone with no particular expertise in the problem in front of them. Here the person overseeing the work knows the territory, because it is the only kind of work we do.
One clinician, within their specialisms.
No clinician may pass their work to someone else. The person you are matched to is the person who assesses you and the person who treats you. Every clinician works within a maximum of two named specialisms, and nobody takes on work outside them because it happens to be available.
When we are full, and when we are not the right fit.
We match against the capacity each clinician has actually declared, and when the team is full we say so rather than stretching a caseload to absorb the work. If your situation sits outside what our clinicians are trained for, we will tell you at the introductory conversation rather than after an assessment, and say what kind of service would fit better.
