The consultant tells Express North about the importance of trust and why therapy is becoming more socially acceptable.
What did you want to be growing up?
A vet. I grew up in the Derbyshire countryside surrounded by animals and love the outdoors.
How did you end up in the job you’re doing now?
It wasn’t easy. I had to train for seven years including volunteering in my first assistant psychologist post in Liverpool. I then moved to the North-East to start my first qualified Clinical Psychologist Newcastle post – that was nine years ago now, time flies!
In 2010, as a clinical Psychologist Newcastle I started my own private practice working from the Nuffield Health Newcastle Hospital in Jesmond.
Have qualifications got you where you are, has it been sheer hard work and talent or a combination?
Certainly a massive dose of hard work and tenacity is needed to get through the training, along with a dash of talent. I feel it helps to be sensitive and have good interpersonal skills, luckily I love working with people and feel this comes naturally.
