Our Tiger Team
Dr Sarah Maclean
Clinical Psychologist
Blue Tiger Psychology Group
My tiger moment was when I learned about my daughter’s diagnoses of neurodiversity. These were challenging days but within them, there was flash of understanding that I needed to be unwavering to be able to channel my energy into navigating the services and advocating for the support she needs. This strength keeps me going despite the numerous hurdles!
My experience as a Clinical Psychologist started when I qualified in 2011 and I have worked in the NHS, in both mental health and physical health services. I recognised the need for further flexibility and work-life balance for my family life (and for walking, going to the gym and seeing friends) so I decided to work solely for myself in independent practice from 2023. I have worked with adults with a range of need and difficulties but I started becoming interested in working with athletes and the world of sport. This has provided me with the opportunity to learn about the context of sport and the opportunities and challenges this can provide.
When someone chooses to see me, I understand that the relationship we develop is important so that they can feel comfortable to discuss the challenges they face. I always work alongside a person to identify what the key issues are and what is the best way forward. I ask for feedback and review the work, ensuring we are working towards their goals. I can adapt my approach as needed as we are all different and have different needs.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like any further information about the way I work.
My fee for supervisees and self-funding clients is £130/hour and I also accept clients with sessions funded by BUPA, Vitality, WPA and Aviva. I am available for both online and face to face sessions in Chelmsford.
Available Tuesday 9.30-4.30, Wednesday 9.30-3.30 and Thursday 9.30 – 2.30 online.
