Brief Biography
Tim is a psychologist specializing in clinical psychology with a background in teaching (preschools, special education, and behaviour management). He has worked in a secure psychiatric hospital, adult correctional facilities, community mental health settings, and private practice. After completing his PhD he worked for five years as a clinical psychologist in the adult primary care service of the National Health Service in Scotland. In this position he developed and evaluated a transdiagnostic form of cognitive therapy called the Method of Levels and also investigated ways of structuring the provision of psychological treatment to maximise patient choice and control. Through this work he became interested in the broader issues of service delivery and patient control of their own health care. Tim is interested in the change process in psychotherapy and has used qualitative methodologies to investigate this process. Tim’s PhD topic explored the prevalence of countercontrol in primary school settings and he has continued to investigate the importance of control to psychological wellbeing across a range of contexts.
