Hello there! I am Chelsea Guy, a Clinical Psychologist with 9+ years experience working in the public sector, private psychiatric hospital settings and private practice. Blossom Clinical Psychology is my passion project to help people who might find it challenging to access therapy (due to physical, practical or emotional reasons) access important mental health support. I am passionate and excited about personal growth and I am continually amazed by the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
I understand that seeking therapy can be a difficult and vulnerable experience. That's why at Blossom Clinical Psychology, I come to you at home where you feel safe and comfortable. I can also meet you at an organised location if home doesn't feel right.
I hold a nurturing therapeutic space, built on my personal and professional values of respect, equality, acceptance, compassion, honesty and trust. My therapy is client-led and I strive to create a space where clients can feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings at their own pace.
In my spare time you can find me spending time with my family and friends, reading, listening to music, learning, or out in nature.
I believe that every person is unique and deserves a personalised treatment plan. In your first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy and work collaboratively to develop unique goals. This will direct the therapeutic approach I use. I focus on your strengths and I am quite flexible, adjusting the approach if need be. During your sessions you'll develop more self-awareness and learn how to challenge negative thoughts, accept and deal with emotions and choose healthy behaviours instead of ones that hold you back.
I use a holistic clinical approach to empower my clients to live a meaningful and contented life. I use these evidence-based treatment approaches:
- Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (also for sleep and eating disorders)
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
- Schema Therapy
- Mindfulness
- Interpersonal Therapy
I work with people aged 16 and over. I often work with people needing help with:

Unfortunately at present I do not treat trauma or personality disorders.
