ACT/CBS Experience: I have extensive experience of working therapeutically with clients using ACT, teaching & training in ACT, & providing ACT supervision.

Additional Information: I am a Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience of providing ACT therapy to help people reduce the restrictive impact of difficult thoughts and feelings, particularly those who have experienced one-off traumatic incidents, as well as individuals working in uniquely stressful occupations.
I have pursued my interest in ACT through conducting university-based research on ACT / psychological flexibility and I have published numerous research papers in the area. I provide teaching and training in ACT, including training in In-TERACT, an engaging preventative resilience intervention for secondary school pupils, which I co-developed: https://interact-programme.co.uk/
