The Southdown Clinic (Harpenden)

11/08/2026

With the bright days of summer in full swing, many people feel that natural lift — lighter evenings, holidays, time outdoors. But for some, even the sunshine doesn’t quiet the anxiety, low mood, or emotional overwhelm that sits beneath the surface. Devina Patel, Clinical Psychologist at The Southdown Clinic, supports adults and young people who may be struggling despite the season. Her approach is warm, evidence based and grounded in helping clients understand their experiences, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change.
Devina offers support for:
• Anxiety, panic and stress
• Low mood and depression
• Trauma and difficult life events
• Relationship and family challenges
• Burnout and emotional fatigue
Some treatments may be covered by Private Healthcare (Bupa, AXA, Aviva, Vitality, WPA etc.) — please check with your provider and/or practitioner first.
If brighter days feel out of reach, reaching out for support can be the first step toward feeling lighter, calmer and more in control.
Summer can still be a season of change, even if it starts from the inside.
