Ian is a Dad to an amazing 15 year-old Daughter & has worked in public service for over 45 years. His contributions to mental health have evolved at local, regional, and national levels.
Since October 2021. He has worked exclusively with people who exhibit hoarding behaviours, and he has developed & coordinated a Northwest network of psychosocial intervention and peer support groups across Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Lancashire & Cheshire as well as initiating and leading the GM Hoarding Improvement Partnership (H.I.P.)
In addition, he is currently working with and supporting the research team at the University of Oxford led by Professor Paul Salkovskis - one of the ‘rock stars’ of psychology (and there aren’t many of us left!)
Challenging, and, (he likes to think) ‘radical’ – his approach to development, improvement and innovation within the realm of ‘hoarding’ is unparalleled – but, failing that, certainly never neutral and/or conventional!
