Background

About Rob Dudley

I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist working in the NHS and Professor of Mental Health at the University of York. I am a clinician working with people with psychosis and I specialise in the treatment of paranoia, and visual hallucinations. I undertake research to improve our understanding of and treatments for these distressing experiences, and am involved in supervision of research projects as well as involved in large treatment studies. I am an experienced trainer and supervisor of other clinicians. I manage and lead clinical services and have had leadership roles in academic settings as well. Career I studied at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne as an undergraduate then went to Durham for my PhD which was on the psychology of delusional beliefs. I then completed my Doctorate of Clinical Psychology training at Newcastle and completed further training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Since qualifying as a clinician I have worked in the NHS offering psychological therapies for people with depression and anxiety but my work has mainly focussed on the understanding and treatment of psychosis. I have worked in an Early Intervention in Psychosis service since 2005. During this time I have also worked at Newcastle University part time as a research tutor on the Doctorate of Clinical Psychology course and was the Degree Programme Director for a number of years as well. I have been involved in a number of treatment trials evaluating the value of talking treatments for psychosis. Since May 2022 I have taken up the role of Professor of Mental Health and work part time at the University of York and in the NHS for CNTW NHS Foundation Trust where I work in the EIP service and have a Trust wide role for the provision of psychological therapies for psychosis. I am research active and for a full list of my publications please look at google scholar, or ResearchGate or my profile at the University of York
