Christian graduated from The University of York in 2013 with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, having initially gained an interest in the subject through A-Level study. During his third undergraduate year, he was fortunate to be selected as one of 12 students within his undergraduate cohort to undertake advanced modules in Clinical Psychology, taught by current NHS Clinical Psychologists. This provided a grounding in ‘Third Wave’ Cognitive Behavioural therapeutic interventions, in particular, Mindfulness. He went on to complete his dissertation on the efficacy of ‘Third Wave’ interventions in clinical settings, which subsequently earned him a First Class Honours degree classification.
Upon graduating, Christian commenced a one-year contract with Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust Early Intervention team in central Norfolk. In this role, he worked closely with young people suffering from first episode psychosis and a range of comorbid difficulties including OCD, Anxiety, and Low Mood. Christian implemented both one to one and group Mindfulness tuition within this challenging group with great success; earning him the title ‘Mindfulness Guru’ with his colleagues. An opportunity arose to move back to Jersey in the summer of 2014 where he intends to continue his research into Mindfulness and utilise this interest to help teach everyone this invaluable skill. Christian firmly holds the belief that Mindfulness is for everyone, and you do not need to have a specific psychological difficulty or reason for learning; simply the motivation to improve your wellbeing is enough.Categories: Psychologists.
