Welcome to Coping Differently Psychology

Offering psychological support for difficulties related to overweight/obesity, body image, binge eating, yo-yo dieting and weight regain after bariatric surgery. 

Hello, my name is Dr Keely Lewis-Clarke. I qualified as a Clinical Psychologist from Lancaster University in 2009. I am a practicing psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and the British Psychological Society. 

I have worked in the NHS for over 18 years, initially working in primary care with people with common mental health difficulties such as depression and anxiety. Since completing my doctorate, I have worked within a community mental health team and a number of different physical health teams including pain management and two specialist weight management teams (SWMT). My role within SWMTs was to help people living with obesity understand the psychological reasons for their weight gain/relationship with food in order to facilitate change.  

I have a great working relationship with three of the Northwest Universities providing doctorate training programmes and have supervised many Trainee Clinical Psychologists.
