Hello, I'm Alan, an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist and University Lecturer. My career revolves around guiding individuals through the intricate challenges inherent in the sharpest edges of human existence - pain, death, and trauma. I specialise in tailoring diverse therapeutic methods (including ACT and EMDR) to suit the unique needs of each person I work with, aiming not just to alleviate suffering but to empower individuals in crafting fulfilling lives, even amid the most formidable hurdles.When I'm not conducting therapy sessions, I'm guiding the next generation of Clinical Psychologists at Teesside University, nurturing their growth and expertise.My commitment extends beyond teaching. I lead and coordinate a spectrum of clinical research projects, with a strong emphasis on chronic pain and psychological flexibility.Driven by a commitment to delivering high-quality therapy grounded in robust research, my focus remains on recognising each person as an individual, not merely a case.
