Dr. Paul Priem Ph.D., D.Clin.Psy., H.C.P.C. Registered

P R I E M T H E R A P I E S Co. Ltd.

Consultant Clinical Psychologist

Dr. Paul Priem

With over 16 years experience as a Clinical Psychologist I have worked with people experiencing the effects of a brain-injury and other neurological conditions. 

Following a brain-injury there are inevitably a series of difficulties to contend with, for both the person whose brain has been injured and the people with whom they have relationships.  I support the range of people effected, to deal with their actual and perceived losses and meet the challenges they face, by creating a context that emphasises new beginnings and a journey of discovery.

The neurorehabilitation that I provide addresses the full range of changes that people encounter, that might otherwise limit their participation in the relationships and activities that make them who they are.

My approach maintains this strong focus upon function and fulfilment in my approach to specific difficulties in the areas of cognition, mood, behaviour and decision making.

A wide-range of techniques can be employed including those drawn from neuro-behavioural, systemic, cognitive-behavioural, solution-focused and third-wave therapeutic perspectives.  Feedback I have received suggests that I have developed a strong track record of providing interventions that are positive in impact, in both the shorter and longer-term, and cost-effective.
