Director Psychology Brighton LTD
BPS Chartered Psychologist
Duty of care and mental health for TV and media productions
I have completed specialist training accredited by the British Psychological Society for Media Psychologists (An ITV and BBC Professional Development Programme for Practitioner Psychologists). I have worked for a range of TV and media productions offering mental health and psychological risk management for production teams, cast, talent and contributors.
​
I work with media and TV productions and can offer a range or services to support at every stage of the production process. I can assess participants fitness to participate, as well as offer ongoing support on location or off site (remotely or face to face in my clinic) to ensure a robust mental health package is in place.
​
I can also offer training and consultations to production teams and crew to support mental health and wellbeing.
