Julie Crocker has worked in the NHS and Health and Community Services for over 30 years, working across London in both NHS and private hospitals and in Jersey. She did her Psychology degree and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at University College London (UCL) and worked lastly in the borough of Tower Hamlets, London, working with Adults and Older Adults and within a community based stroke team before joining the Psychology team in Jersey, where she took up the post of Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Lead for older adults. She currently works at 13 Royal Square working with adults and older adults, providing assessment, formulation and therapy.
She is a British Psychological Society Registered and Approved Supervisor (RAPPS) and provides clinical supervision to other colleagues. She also offers reflective practice and work discussion groups for staff and trained in the ‘Short course Intervention’ (training/consultancy) at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust. She receives regular psychoanalytical supervision, consultation and training in her clinical work. Her broad interests also include working in Individual therapy and consultation where emotional difficulties might be experienced in a variety of ways. These might be intense feelings of emptiness, sadness or depression, lacking in confidence or feelings of underachievement, difficulty in making or sustaining relationships or repeatedly becoming involved in unsatisfying relationships, extreme mood swings, loss, grief and bereavement, anxiety, complex trauma and developmental trauma, physical symptoms and long term conditions, ageing and perceptions of ageing and mortality.
She believes that we are constantly driven to try and make sense of what is happening to us and therapy becomes a place to check this out and learn from our experiences by becoming more aware of our inner world, adapting and reforming how we make sense of ourselves, in light of new experiences. Julie Crocker works with adults and older adults through to end of life as she holds a belief that it is never too late to attempt reparation and resolution.
