Additional Responsibilities
Along with working as a chartered Clinical Psychologist, I also provide consultations, supervision, and lectures to mental health professionals. In addition to my private practice, I am also employed on a part-time basis at a renowned private mental hospital in Central London and near London’s main medical hub, where I carry out psychological assessments and therapy to both individual and group therapy. My current role in the NHS involves providing consultation and supervision to staff groups, working with people who have complex difficulties and/or psychosis. I also have experience working on the inpatient unit for people with a variety of mental health problems, providing individual therapy, group work, staff supervision, and team formulation. I also enjoy teaching, including delivering staff training.
