Background
I have been a Clinical Psychologist for over 25 years and during this time I have worked in the NHS as well as in private practice. I have helped clients with a range of difficulties including but not limited to anxiety, depression, chronic pain and PTSD. I have worked in general settings as well as in a Chronic Pain Service and a Specialist Centre for the treatment of PTSD.
I was a Co-Director, lecturer and supervisor on the South of Scotland CBT Training Course for several years, and I also developed and delivered a national training programme for NHS staff in the assessment and treatment of PTSD.
