biography

I went to school in Cheshire, then read Psychology and Physiology (PPP) at St Hilda’s College, Oxford University, graduating in 1973. I completed my M.Phil in Clinical Psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry in 1975. After qualifying I was a clinical researcher at the IoP until 1984, then held a number of posts as a clinical psychologist in adult mental health and addiction, returning to the IoP in 1994. I’m currently working in adult mental health for SLAM in Southwark, and continuing with research interests in cognitive bias modification.
