WELCOME TO WILLOW TREE PSYCHOLOGY
 
Willow Tree Psychology is run by Dr Simone Raenker,  an experienced independent Clinical Psychologist with a PhD in psychological medicine from King's College London and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Royal Holloway, University of London.

Simone has over 20 years of research and clinical experience. She is currently working as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in therapeutic residential care for looked after children and in private practice.

Simone is offering a warm and compassionate space for children and their families, as well as adolescents and adults, who would like to explore and recover from struggles they experiencing. 
​
Simone is trained intensively in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Emotion Focussed Therapy (EFT). 

​THE ETHOS

The ethos of this service relates to the symbolism of the willow tree, which traditionally stands for healing, hope, safety, growth and stability. Its flexibility means that even a heavy storm is unlikely to break it because of its immense ability to bend. The willow tree therefore is a beautiful reminder for adjustment and adaptability in life, despite and alongside stormy periods and adverse experiences. In my psychological practice, I aim to support my clients to not only survive but also thrive under difficult conditions. Whilst therapy can be both short- or long-term, my overall goal is always to provide a safe place to explore emotions and increase awareness, to foster resilience, and to allow for growth and change. 

The practice location is Forest Row, East Sussex.
