Dr Erin Beal
Chestnut Psychology is a Sheffield-based clinical psychology and neuropsychology practice founded and led by Dr Erin M. Beal, an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist with specialist training in neuropsychology. We work with adults experiencing cognitive, emotional and psychological difficulties — including people living with acquired brain injury, stroke and other neurological conditions, as well as autistic and ADHD adults seeking understanding and support.
Our work is evidence-based and neurodiversity-affirming. We seek to understand the whole person and their context — not simply to apply a label.
Alongside Dr Beal, our associate psychologists bring years of clinical experience across NHS neuropsychology services and a strong academic foundation in neuropsychology, trauma and psychological science. Whether through assessment, rehabilitation or therapy, every piece of work is delivered in a space that is inclusive, respectful and empowering.
Specialist assessment, rehabilitation and therapy — delivered in line with NICE guidance and national best practice, and tailored to each person's needs.
Comprehensive cognitive assessment for acquired brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, brain tumours and other neurological conditions — with formulation and rehabilitation planning.
Targeted support for memory, attention and executive-functioning difficulties — including fatigue management and compensatory strategy training to rebuild everyday function.
Evidence-based therapy for adjustment following illness or injury, anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, health-related distress and identity after diagnosis.
Gold-standard, neurodiversity-affirming assessment for autism and ADHD — individually or as a combined profile — conducted in line with NICE guidance.
Reflective, supportive clinical supervision for psychologists and trainees working in neuropsychology, neurodiversity and related fields.
Workshops and consultation on neurodiversity, brain injury, cognitive rehabilitation and neuropsychological assessment for organisations, schools and healthcare providers.
If you're unsure whether we're the right fit, please get in touch — we'll always be honest about suitability.
We practise from a neuroaffirmative, trauma-informed framework. Neurodivergence is not something to be "treated" or "cured" — we seek to understand and validate identity.
Therapy is grounded in approaches with a strong evidence base — including CBT, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) — within an integrative clinical-psychology framework.
All work is completed in accordance with NICE guidance and national best-practice standards.
