A clinical psychologist who has worked in the NHS since 1990 focusing my clinical expertise mainly on the needs of traumatised adults. I am currently a trustee for the Covid Healthcare Response Appeal charity and have been on the board of the European Society for Trauma and Dissociation. I run the compassionate leadership SIG for the Compassionate Mind Foundation, am Mental Health Lead for the North England Clinical Network and run a national community of practice for Trauma Informed Care that is currently funded by NHS-E but ran with the NECN and the Academic Health Science Network. I have set up the regional Staff support Hub with Gail Kay at the ICS along trauma informed care principles and remain involved as clinical director.
