Karl
Clinical Practice Lead - Health & Behaviour
HCPC-Registered | Master of Public Health (MPH)
I am a HCPC-registered paramedic with a Master’s in Public Health (MPH) and more than a decade of senior NHS leadership experience, including Consultant-level and Head of Service roles. My work focuses on behavioural support, emotional wellbeing education and early-intervention approaches for people experiencing health-related distress, overwhelm, or difficulty engaging with traditional services.
I also provide structured mental health assessments for individuals seeking clarity and direction regarding their emotional wellbeing. These assessments are designed to explore current challenges, identify risk, understand contributing factors, and offer clear, practical recommendations for next steps. They support decision-making, stabilisation, and onward care planning, and can be particularly valuable for those navigating stress, burnout, persistent physical symptoms, or complex health-related concerns.
My practice sits at the intersection of physical health, behaviour, and emotional wellbeing. I work with people who may be managing stress, emotional overload, medically unexplained symptoms, or the impact of long-term conditions. My role is not to provide psychotherapy or specialist mental health treatment, but to deliver assessment, stabilisation, practical coping strategies, and evidence-informed behaviour-change support grounded in public health and clinical practice.
I have a particular interest in working with people who experience unmet needs within traditional pathways, including individuals who identify as neurodivergent, those affected by health-related anxiety, and people recovering following healthcare crises or periods of instability. I support individuals to regain a sense of safety, clarity and control, while helping them navigate onward support where therapeutic or medical input is required.
Alongside direct client work, I lead on clinical governance, risk management and service development within our practice. I work closely with GPs, therapists, occupational health teams and community services to support safe decision-making, continuity of care and appropriate onward referral. My approach integrates behavioural science, public-health principles, and whole-person care to support recovery, resilience and sustainable change.
