Personal Profile
As a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, I have a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, as well as Masters and undergraduate degrees in psychology. Following doctoral qualification I first worked in older people's mental health services, working with individuals with dementia, challenging behaviour and, in more general terms, with people struggling with serious mental illness, personality disorder and a broad range of complex mental health issues (also often living with the psychological effects of chronic physical health problems).
I left this post to develop and take the helm of a chronic pain management service 7 years ago, where I then led the development of an innovative community pain management model to improve local care provision. Last year I left this service and now work with The Huntercombe Group, within 2 regional Brain Injury/ Neurodisability services.
I am regularly involved in strategic activity at national levels, having previously worked with NICE on the writing of the Low Back Pain guideline and being frequently involved in national consultations relevant to pain management, mental health and clinical psychology provision in more general terms.
Private Practice
Alongside other work activity I run a private practice specialising in psychological assessment and therapy, specialising in Pain management and injury rehabilitation, while also providing broader psychological therapy services.
I run a regular private clinic at:
BMI Sefton Hospital
University Hospital Aintree

Work Approach
Therapeutic Approach
As a Clinical Psychologist, I draw on a variety of psychological principles and theories in my clinical practice, drawing on a broad knowledge base of various different therapeutic approaches (e.g cognitive behavioural therapy, interpersonal therapy and psychotherapy), to tailor an approach suitable to meet the needs of the person (i.e. the individual), that sits in front of me at any given time. Broadly, I generally consider how life circumstances experienced affect each person I see in terms of how they view themselves, how they think, how this makes them feel, behave, live within their relationships, and in their broader world, where all of this information can then be drawn on to highlight the best way forward for the person, and where new coping skills can then be taught to help break the cycles they are currently trapped in, breaking cycles of unhappiness, discontent or distress.
Consultancy
I have developed a breadth of clinical service development, management, leadership and strategic expertise over the course of my professional career, which offers a firm grounding to the consultancy services that I am able to offer, across sectors
About
As mentioned above, I run a private practice alongside my NHS work, running my main private clinic at Abbey Sefton Hospital, Aintree, Liverpool (http://www.abbeyhospitals.com/liverpool-hospital.htm). As part of this private practice, I offer psychological assessment, psychological therapy and rehabilitation services, alongside clinical supervision and consultation.
Areas of particular clinical specialism include pain management, sports injury rehabilitation and facilitation of psychological adjustment and improved management in response to long term conditions.
Further professional and practice details can be seen on the British Psychological Society Directory of Chartered Psychologists (via www.bps.org.uk).
