I was an NHS leader in mental health for some time after qualifying as a Clinical Psychologist in 1994 and practising until 2025. I was at the forefront of trauma informed and compassionate leadership developments and set up a UK wide network for change. I set up regional staff support services during covid and commissioned lots of creative or collective healing opportunities.
