Some of My Career Points
I started as a Psychologist having completed my training in both the United Kingdom and the United States. In particular, I specialised in Occupational Psychology, Industrial and Organisational Psychology, Applied Psychology, Cognitive Psychology and Social Psychology.
I additionally hold current post-qualification accreditations in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Acceptance-Commitment Therapy. I am a member of the British Psychological Society and the American Psychological Association.
I worked initially as a Criminal Psychologist for Her Majesty’s Prison Service dealing mainly with maximum security prisoners and high risk offenders. You are right, I have a lot of stories to tell from this experience – many of which are surprisingly applicable to business consulting!
I subsequently attained a place on the Accelerated Promotion Scheme for Senior Managers for HM Government. I worked primarily in HM Prison Service, in some of the most challenging and dangerous prisons in the country and with some of the most high-profile and difficult prisoners – and staff!
I was then awarded a training contract with a Magic Circle law firm, and completed my legal training in London and Oxford, subsequently working as a Corporate Lawyer for Clifford Chance LLP. I am a qualified Corporate Lawyer, trained Arbitrator and Member of the Law Society.
Over the past twenty five plus years I have worked with numerous successful start-ups as well as on the development, operations and sales of multiple businesses. I have been involved in everything from single person enterprises up to some of the very largest of international corporations and firms.
