Clinical Psychologist in Wimbledon

Dr Angelene Gardner,

Clinical Psychologist at Wimbledon Psychology

I'm Angelene, a qualified Clinical Psychologist in Wimbledon with 10 years of experience in the NHS across adult mental health and family settings. I offer individual and couples therapy online and in Wimbledon. In-person appointments are in a clinic in central Wimbledon (40-44 The Broadway, SW19 1RQ).

Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside but struggling with anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, work stress, or difficult relationship dynamics. Therapy can help you understand the roots of these patterns and build a more compassionate, empowered relationship with yourself.

As a Clinical Psychologist trained to the highest doctoral standard, I can help you make sense of your difficulties and support you in creating meaningful and lasting change. I offer a thoughtful, personalised approach to help you understand yourself better and feel more in control. I have specialist experience in supporting people in the following areas of difficulty:

Emotional wellbeing, identity & life transitions

I help with issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, self-criticism, perfectionism, low mood, and burnout. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches to help clients improve their mental health, live a life that brings them meaning, to process difficult experiences, and direct compassion towards themselves. Clients might want practical tools to support them in the 'here and now' as well as a deeper exploration of how their life experiences impact them in the present and how to make sense of these. I work to your timeline using a range of evidence-based and effective therapy models.

Trauma & EMDR

I support clients with PTSD or who have experienced traumatic or overwhelming life events that continue to affect them in the present. This may include childhood experiences, medical trauma, bereavement, assault, serious accidents, and birth trauma. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) alongside other therapeutic approaches to help clients process distressing experiences, reduce emotional overwhelm, and feel less “stuck” in patterns connected to the past. Alongside weekly therapy sessions, I also offer EMDR intensives for clients who want to engage in more focused work over a shorter period.

Couples & relationship dynamics

I support couples experiencing communication difficulties and conflict. Couples may be feeling disconnected, having regular arguments, and struggling to navigate issues such as emotional disconnection, infidelity, parenting differences and traumatic experiences. My therapeutic approach helps couples build emotional safety, share perspectives, and understand negative cycles. Couples learn new ways to communicate, show empathy, and strengthen the bond between them. I have experience supporting LGBTQ+ couples and my practice is inclusive of all sexualities and relationship styles.

I offer the following therapies:
