RESEARCH
I am now no longer engaged on any active research projects but if there is something you might like my opinion of/input into please get in touch.
TRAINING
I have more than 30 years of experience in training front line mental health workers and family doctors in mental health skills.
My particular interests are in the skills required to talk with people who are emotionally distressed, brief psychological interventions for primary and specialist care and helping people who are at risk of self-harm.
CONSULTANCY
I am retired from practice and do not offer any form of clinical work or clinical advice.
I am sometimes available on a short-term basis for non-clinical consultancy work. My particular area of interest and expertise is in improving links between primary care and mental health services and designing and evaluating innovative services to meet the needs of people with common mental health problems in the community. I have carried out service reviews and facilitation work in this field, helping to redesign services.
