Dr Jocelyn Fleming
Clinical Psychologist

D.Clin. Psych, MSc, BSc (Hons), MSc, PGCert

I've worked in private practice for the past 9 years, with special interests in trauma and neurodiversity. I am passionate about supporting neurodivergent young people and their families, and have particular expertise in PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance – or, ‘pervasive drive for autonomy’, as is a more accurate title), as well as non-demand avoidant presentations of autism and ADHD.

​

After obtaining my undergraduate degree in Psychology, I started my NHS career in inpatient and residential adult mental health services. During my doctoral training, I moved towards child and adolescent mental health with specialist placements at Great Ormond Street Hospital, as well as placements in CAMHS community teams. I also had specialist placements in adult trauma services and conducted my doctoral research in forensic services looking at offence-related PTSD. Since qualifying in 2015, I have undertaken further training in EMDR.
