Dr Kat Aguilera
Founder & Clinical Director
I am a HCPC registered and Chartered Counselling Psychologist with over 15 years’ experience supporting individuals affected by trauma. I founded Aguilera Psychology Services to provide specialist, evidence-based trauma therapy that is tailored to the individual. Every person who comes to us has a different story, which is why we take the time to understand your experiences and build a treatment programme around your individual needs and goals.
I’ve built a team of experienced trauma specialists who share the same values of warmth, compassion and evidence-based practice. When you work with any member of our team, you’ll receive the same high standard of care in a safe, supportive and collaborative space.
We provide treatment across the UK and internationally for PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety and depression using therapies including EMDR, trauma-focused CBT and compassion-focused therapy. For individuals who would benefit from a more concentrated approach, we also offer our Intensive Trauma-Focused Therapy Programme.
My career has been shaped by supporting individuals affected by cumulative trauma, including extensive childhood trauma and occupational trauma. I have specialist experience working with military personnel and first responders affected by repeated exposure to traumatic events. That experience continues to inform the care we provide as a service, as well as the psychological training and consultancy we deliver to high-pressure organisations.
After over 15 years of working in the field of trauma, one thing remains true: the biggest wars I see are the ones people fight within themselves.
