My extensive background in psychotherapy research equips me to train a variety of healthcare professions in research and evaluation relating to psychological interventions.  The approach taken is discussed with the client in advance. For example, the requirement may be for an emphasis on practice-based research, evaluating prior research literature, or on developing qualitative or quantitative research skills.  For example, in 2004/5 I contributed a Research Module to the Postgraduate Diploma/MSc in Person-centred Psychotherapy and Counselling at Temenos.

My distinctive therapy skills are in Psychodynamic-Interpersonal therapy based on the Conversational Model of Robert F Hobson.  This is an evidence-based method, drawing upon a range of skills and concepts that many service users and health professionals find congenial.  For example, a group of mental health nurses with the Leeds Mental Health Trust have trained other mental health workers following a period of training with myself.  They wrote up their experience for publication.

I also evaluate training.  For example, with Anne Rees I recently evaluated an effective teamworking and leadership in mental health programme for the NHS Modernisation Agency's Leadership Centre.
