Jamie Ford, DipHe, BA (Hons), MSc, MCMA, GMBPsS


Hi i’m Jamie, a dedicated talking therapist and registered healthcare professional with over a decade of experience across multiple disciplines. 


My passion lies in researching and practising effective psychological interventions; with a particular focus on helping fellow healthcare professionals overcome work related stress and potential psychological burnout.


I hold further specialist interest in helping athletes and amateur sports people alike with sports performance. I have experience of working with professional sports men and women; from golfers to runners, footballers to martial artists. I also work with teams in both the sporting and healthcare environments, encouraging them towards collaborative success. 


Away from work, I enjoy keeping up with psychological research, astrophysics, running, football, hiking and motor sport.  As a husband and father to two young girls, my time spent on the running track or hiking the South Downs trail is limited, but I find joy in balancing work, family and personal interests.
