My initial training as a Clinical Psychologist, further specialisations, especially in systemic psychotherapy, and experience of successful NHS and private sector innovation, leadership, management and training have provided me with a range of skills, knowledge and insights that will be of benefit to a range of businesses and organisations.
I enable and advise innovative mental health service providers who are reimagining the delivery of psychological interventions and support, especially those that leverage the power of support networks and wider systems.
I also facilitate mission-driven Commercial, Social Impact & Nonprofit Companies who wish to incorporate psychological principles and knowledge to deliver a more holistic product or service.
I collaborate with organisations at all stages of their development but especially with start-ups, where my experience and hands-on support and guidance is likely to have the most impact.
I also partner with the providers of innovative mental health services and products to maximise their impact and reach.
