I am a consultant clinical psychologist and an ACAT accredited CAT practitioner and supervisor. I have worked in mental health services for over 20 years and am also an EMDR therapist. My clinical experience is with adults with a range of psychological difficulties ranging from mild-moderate mental health problems to complex, severe or enduring difficulties. This has included working with adults who experienced childhood trauma, adversity or neglect that impacts on their wellbeing and day to day life as an adult. I have worked in both Primary and Secondary Care therapy services. The latter have included inpatient services (Acute and Rehab; Personality Disorder and Forensic) plus associated community provision. Through the forensic field I’ve also carried out psycho-legal work for courts and parole hearings.
I offer clinical supervision to therapists, psychologists, psychotherapists and counsellors in clinical or leadership roles. I also teach on the CAT practitioner course and deliver CPD and bespoke training for Catalyse.
Aside from therapeutic work I have held Director-level leadership roles in the NHS and overseas in both provider and commissioning roles. Through this I have led system transformation across organisational boundaries for quality assurance and improvement purposes with a focus on service development, clinical governance and quality frameworks and patient safety. I’m qualified in Executive and Leadership Coaching. This area has led me into providing supervision, personal reformulation or CAT-informed coaching for people in leadership roles. Supporting and upskilling people effecting change in complex or challenging clinical teams and systems intersects with my systemic expertise. In addition to drawing on my own experience and learning, I have found both CAT and group psychoanalytic ideas useful in helping find practical ways forward for leaders.
