My Medical training and expertise over 40 years has been invaluable in providing insight in to how physical illness, both short and long term, can impact upon people’s psychological well-being.  Also how depression, anxiety, stress, panic attacks and dysfunctional behaviour patterns can adversely create both acute and chronic physical health problems.
