Media Psychology and guest media appearances

I completed British Psychological Society’s training on Media production psychology and as a HCPC registered Clinical and Counselling Psychologist I can offer psychological duty of care to film and TV productions. I can offer standard assessments and duty of care sessions for television contributors as well as media production teams. I can also offer ongoing care for regular television contributors. I enjoy working with members of the public, production teams as well as individual professional performers, especially musicians (in particular singers), actors and dancers. In the world of broadcasting, film and drama I prefer to serve backstage, assessing and supporting contributors and production teams but I also very much enjoy writing articles, and I am happy to be a guest contributor.
