Biography
Clinical work
I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist, BABCP Accredited CBT Practitioner and trained in systemic and EMDR therapy.
I spent years working in NHS military veteran mental health services, including the Complex Treatment Service (Op Courage). I have experience providing assessments and interventions to other specialist populations (e.g. healthcare staff, government agency staff, students).
I provide clinical supervision to psychological therapists, clinical psychologists and trainees working across a range of settings (health, mental health and forensic) and I now primarily work clinically in an intensive care unit (ICU) with patients, families and staff, and on wider responses to critical and major incidents.
Background
I have previously led and/or managed national projects and programmes in healthcare including, national clinical audits in mental health (National Clinical Audits | Royal College of Psychiatrists (rcpsych.ac.uk)); NHS patient safety incident reporting and response and other quality and service improvement initiatives. I authored the Royal College of Psychiatrists' original e-learning module on Patient Safety in Mental Health (Quality improvement module 4: Patient safety in mental health (rcpsych.ac.uk)).
