About the Expert

Dr Sarah Collett completed her Psychology with European Study degree at the University of Exeter; this included a year in France where she studied psychology at the Universite de Bourgogne in Dijon.

After assistant psychology posts with older adults and in a rehabilitation unit for adults with mental health problems, she embarked on her clinical psychology doctorate at the University of Plymouth.

Dr Collett chose to study psychology for its blend of scientific approach and human interest. She loves that clinical psychology gives the opportunity to build our understanding of and compassion for the human condition and promote positive mental health.

Since she qualified 2005, Dr Collett has lived in the beautiful city of Cardiff. She worked for 16 years in Community Mental Health Teams where she loved working therapeutically with adults with severe and enduring mental health problems.

Dr Collett has a particular interest in integrative and relational therapy models, and she is a qualified practitioner in Cognitive Analytic Therapy. Dr Collett also enjoys working with neurodiverse people, and valued working closely with colleagues in the Integrated Autism Service and gaining experience in autism assessment.

Dr Collett is passionate about clinical supervision and providing safe reflective spaces for her colleagues. She has enjoyed providing regular placements for trainee clinical psychologists throughout her career.

“Since 2021 I have worked 3 days a week in Maggie’s, a cancer support charity, providing free expert care and support for people with cancer and their families. It is an incredibly special place, and it is a privilege to be part of the team.

Outside work I love spending time with my family and friends. After being a bookworm as a child, I let the responsibilities of adult life (as well as some good television!) distract me from this hobby. However, I joined a book group a year ago and this has reignited my passion for reading and helped me to broaden my horizons. I also really appreciate my weekly yoga classes.”

 

Dr Collett will be providing clinics in Cardiff from March 2025.
