Welcome to Great Bear Psychology Services

Dr Paul Bibby

B.Sc.   D.Clinc. Psychol.    C.Psychol.

I'm a Clinical Psychologist, Chartered with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC), based in Gloucestershire.  I bring over 20 years' experience of working in the NHS with people from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of difficulties. I specialise in working with adults (over the age of 16) with a wide range of difficulties, both in person and online. Having experienced mental health difficulties of my own I'm determined to break down the stigma often associated with mental health problems and I'm especially interested in men's mental health, the barriers that men (particularly young men) may face in accessing therapy and what can be done to overcome these barriers.

​

Therapeutically I work in an integrative way, drawing on a range of therapeutic models and tools to individualise therapeutic work to the specific needs and goals of clients. I have particular interest in Schema Therapy, cognitive-behavioural methods and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and have also completed specific post-qualification training in EMDR and DBT as well as Behavioural Family Therapy which I draw upon in my clinical practice. I work in a structured, collaborative way to help clients define, work towards and achieve their goals.

​

I also offer a range of professional services aimed at guiding and supporting organisations to increase the skill, knowledge, confidence and psychological wellbeing of their staff.
