I have worked within the NHS for 17 years as a Lead Psychologist mainly working Neurodegenerative disorders, Neuropsychology, Occupational Health, Neuropsychiatry, Clinical Health Psychology, medically unexplained conditions, general mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression.

I have been working with private outpatients across the lifespan and have run various groups within private inpatient settings for over 3 years.

I also worked as the family therapist a number of years ago within the psychiatric intensive care unit (PICU) when it first opened.

I am also a locum psychologist at the Vines in Crowborough, which is a resident home for adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and neurodegenerative conditions.

As a supervisor of trainee clinical psychologists, I have been involved with the use of narrative therapy with clients with neurodegenerative disorders: the examination of trauma for the precursor for neurodegenerative disorders.

During training, I also examined condom use in men who have sex with men.
