I completed my professional Clinical Psychology training in 1992 at Birmingham University. I subsequently worked in the NHS both in primary and secondary care services.

Before moving to Lancaster in 2000 I worked as head of Adult  Psychological     Therapy Services in Wolverhampton.

I undertook further training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy at Oxford University Cognitive Therapy Centre, one of the most highly regarded training centres in this approach.

I now combine NHS work with my private practice.
