About Dr Omar Cummins
Dr Omar Cummins is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with 26 years’ experience working with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or impacted by difficult life experiences wanting more than short-term symptom relief. He offers in-person therapy in Harpenden and online sessions across the UK, providing a calm, thoughtful space for depth-focused psychological work.
Omar’s private practice, Amwell Spring, is grounded in the idea of helping people move from psychological distress toward greater stability, clarity, and a more fulfilling way of living. His approach is collaborative and formulation-led, helping clients understand the patterns that underpin anxiety, trauma responses, burnout, and long-standing emotional difficulties. This work is particularly suited to individuals who want to develop greater emotional resilience, self-understanding, and a more stable sense of direction in their lives.
Drawing on extensive experience in both the NHS and private practice, Omar integrates EMDR, Schema Therapy, and third-wave cognitive approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy. Therapy is carefully tailored to the individual rather than delivered as a one-size-fits-all model, allowing for both meaningful short-term stabilisation and deeper, longer-term change where appropriate.
Omar holds a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and has undertaken advanced postgraduate training in CBT, Schema Therapy, EMDR, and Clinical Neuropsychology. He is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), is a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society, and is fully accredited with both EMDR UK and the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).

Reviews
Dr.Omar has been an incredible psychologist to say the least. My journey with him has helped me reimagine and re-frame deep rooted traumatic memories, and have changed how I approach my day-to-day quite significantly.
Working with Dr. Omar was a truly different experience from the therapy I’ve had in the past, and I am deeply grateful for the positive impact he's had on my life. I began seeing him for anxiety, and from the start, it was clear he brings real experience and genuine care to his work. He listens attentively, remembers important details, and asks the kind of questions that made me reflect, which led to real breakthroughs. I never felt rushed, instead, I felt supported and expertly guided when needed. Throughout our sessions, Dr. Omar has equipped me with practical techniques and tools that continue to help me navigate my anxiety and handle situations more calmly. I’m so thankful for the experience and the meaningful progress I’ve made under his care.
I am seeing Dr Cummins for my social anxiety. We have had a few sessions but already I am seeing improvements in the real world. Dr Cummins takes the time to find out as much information and then breaks down the issue into digestable and easy to understand points. He uses a multifaceted approach using multiple techniques such as EMDR and CBT to help me through my issues.
Dr. Cummins' professionalism and kindness is exception and exemplary.
Omar listens incredibly attentively, and every session feels natural and easy because the conversation flows so well. He always remembers what we discussed in previous visits, which makes me feel truly heard and understood. Through his thoughtful questions and insights, he’s helped me uncover truths about myself that I hadn’t recognized before, and that has been genuinely life-changing. I’ve grown tremendously thanks to his guidance, and I’m deeply grateful for the positive impact he’s had on my life.
