Dr Kai Thilo (PhD, ClinPsyD, CPsychol, AFBPsS )

About Kai

Kai is a clinical psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), a chartered psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and qualified in cognitive-behavioural therapy at the University of Oxford. Since graduating he has worked in academic research and in the NHS.

Kai’s therapeutic approach is most strongly informed by CBT but he draws from additional models when indicated and offers a flexible and individualised therapy experience.

Where distress is not clinically significant and levels of functioning are high, he can offer life coaching based on cognitive-behavioural principles.

Kai is happy to assess and treat self-referring patients as well as those referred by their GP or specialist. He is an approved provider for most most private health insurance companies.

Kai maintains research collaborations with University College London and the University of Oxford in which psychotherapy and neuroscience techniques are combined in order to understand the mechanisms underlying successful psychotherapy.

Kai subscribes to the scientist-practitioner philosophy and his practice is based firmly on the best available research evidence. He retains an interest in research and has collaborations with the Institute of Neurology at UCL and the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Oxford.

Kai can offer work in German as well as English and treats patients across the life span. Where indicated he also offers treatments in the field (e.g., to counter specific phobias), through telephone appointments, video conferencing or home visits when clients would otherwise be unable to access treatment (e.g., in severe agoraphobia or OCD).
