Dr Jane Alderton (BSc, MSc, DClinPsy)
Chartered Clinical Psychologist
Supporting children and adults with compassionate, evidence-based psychological care to foster growth, resilience and wellbeing
About Me
I trained at University College London (UCL) where I gained a doctorate in Clinical Psychology. UCL is a world leading institution for the study of mental health and wellbeing. My research was conducted at the Tavistock Clinic and explored healthy parental communication.
​
Since graduating I have spent 20 years working for the NHS. During this time I have supported children and adults to navigate a wide variety of challenges and difficulties. These have ranged from new parents seeking support around parenting their baby, children and teenagers struggling in schools, to adults coping with diverse mental health difficulties. I have also supervised and trained a large of number of NHS psychologists, teachers and medical staff.
​
I use a variety of therapeutic techniques and models to guide my work, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Family Therapy.
​
I am a member of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). My registration number is: PYL26552. I am also a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and a Faculty Member of the section for Perinatal Psychology and the section for Children, Young People and their Families. ​
​
Assessment and Treatment Services
I offer a full range of evidence based psychological services. These include comprehensive assessments and treatment interventions. I am experienced in delivering therapy to children, adolescents and adults.
I am trained in VIPP (Video Interaction for Positive Parenting), Incredible Years Parenting Programmes, CBT and Family Therapy. I am experienced working with those with a diagnosed or undiagnosed neurodivergence. I provide compassionate, personalised care, whether you're facing anxiety, depression, behavioural concerns, family conflicts, or simply want to strengthen your relationships. I am guided by NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) guidelines and am up to date with the most recent research. All treatment and intervention decisions are made collaboratively with you (and where appropriate, your family).
​
I see clients face to face from my consulting room in Kingston, near Lewes and online. I also offer a home visiting service for local clients with mobility issues or difficulties leaving their homes. Please get in touch to discuss this if this is of interest.
​
If I am not suited to help with your difficulty or you feel that I am not a good fit for you, I would be very happy to signpost you to other services that may help.
Individual Therapy for Anxiety and Low Mood
I offer personalised therapy for children, teens, and adults to address a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. Through tailored techniques, I help individuals build resilience, improve self-esteem, and work through anxiety, depression, trauma, and more. All interventions are guided by NICE guidelines and the best available evidence.
Bereavement Counselling
I offer a safe space where people can work through their grief and loss.

I help children navigate emotional, behavioural, and developmental challenges. I am experienced in working with children and adolescents from under 5's to young adults.

I provide guidance and practical strategies to help parents navigate the challenges of raising children. Whether you're managing discipline, communication, or understanding your child's emotional needs, I offer support to foster healthy family dynamics and positive growth.
Family Therapy
I strengthen family relationships by addressing conflicts, communication issues, and emotional struggles. We work together to build understanding and create positive change within the family unit.
