I began my career as an occupational psychologist in the Employment Service working with people with either physical or mental health difficulties. As a psychotherapist I worked in private practice, in university student psychological services, NHS psychological services and alcohol and substance abuse.
I have worked in the field of mental health for 20yrs as a psychiatric nurse on wards and in the community treating adults of all ages, from 17 to over 100. I therefore have extensive experience of psychiatric syndromes, including:
anxiety
phobias
PTSD
OCD
depression
bipolar disorder
psychosis
dementia
Parkinson’s disease
personality disorders
anger management
addiction
gender dysphoria
body dysmorphia
chronic pain.
