Dr. Emily Broadbridge

Emily has over a decade of experience working in the NHS, charitable organizations, and private practice, with a primary focus on providing community psychological support to individuals with neurodiversity. She has worked extensively with individuals, their families, and support networks (e.g., care teams) to foster positive outcomes. Emily holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Exeter and is also qualified in systemic approaches and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She is currently completing the post-doctoral diploma in Neuropsychology for entry onto the Specialist Register of Neuropsychologists. Emily’s NHS role is within a community team for adults with learning disabilities, providing both individual and systemic interventions.

Emily is deeply committed to person-centred care and specialises in adapting therapeutic approaches to meet the unique needs of neurodiverse individuals. This includes individuals with neurological conditions, brain injury, autism, ADHD, and intellectual or learning disabilities. Her work focuses on understanding the factors that influence change and supporting people to live in line with their values. She takes an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and systemic approaches. Emily has a particular interest
in the connection between physical and mental health, exploring how both our minds and bodies influence wellbeing.

Outside of work, Emily enjoys chatting with people, reading all kinds of books, and spending time outdoors—especially when it involves being near or in the water. She’s currently learning archery and bouldering, enjoying the challenge of trying new things and discovering different ways to unwind and have fun.
