Enza Santangelo - About Me
Clinical Psychologist
I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist working in Mental Health and Disability Services, Health and Community Services.
In terms of my experience, I began my career in Sydney, NSW working in hospitals and in family law cases for a private psychology practice. As early back as 1987 I taught in the undergraduate psychology programme at University of Western Sydney, and have remained in the University sector for over 3 years - teaching, research, supervising students and in an Executive position developing a business strategy and relationships with organisations requiring university services.
My career has taken me to exciting places, working at Gladesville Hospital in Sydney and then to Shenley Hospital, Hertfordshire, which was the largest mental health institution in Britain. In 1992 I was the Consultant Clinical Psychologist in Westminster, London for an Assessment and Treatment Service, and Respite Centre for adolescents and adults with an Intellectual disability, Autism, dementia and/or with mental health issues . I've worked clinically with clients in a range of therapies (obtaining training at the Tavistock Clinic and Queens Square in London), and have worked with community, forensic, residential, nursing and medical staff for over 36 years. I have an interest in neuropsychology and worked at The Wellington Hospital, London.
Areas of Specialisation
I have developed expertise in adult mental health, specifically in anxiety and depression. I work across the lifespan, and for most mental health conditions that range from mild to moderate.
I also specialise in Adult Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD and Intellectual Disability and MS, and PTSD.
Consultation
Sessions are usually up to 50 mins in length, but assessment sessions may be longer. The number of sessions required will vary and is usually negotiated directly with the client, or the organisation or the family involved.
Treatment
I work in a range of techniques and therapies, but specialise in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which aims to trace back the origin of the problems and I view many problems as originating from our early life experiences.
I use the latest scientific research to resolve complex psychological problems requiring individually tailored interventions. I also working in Solution -Focused therapy.
