My name is Dr Sarah Blackshaw. I'm a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience working in the area of physical health - in the last sixteen years I've worked in many different areas and with lots of health conditions, including diabetes, heart conditions, chronic fatigue/ME, cancer, HIV, sexual health, and chronic pain. Currently, I work within the NHS as a Principal Clinical Psychologist within the Clinical Health Psychology team at Salford Royal Hospital, providing psychological input to people with a range of health conditions via the General Medicine team. I am also the co-chair of the Clinical Health and Neuropsychology Network (CHANN) within ACP-UK. I do not currently offer private therapy.
I am available to supervise qualified clinical psychologists, having completed supervisor training and supervised a number of qualified and unqualified members of staff within the NHS. I prefer to work in an integrative way, but I am happy to discuss your supervision needs with you. I am also available to offer consultation, teaching and training to healthcare teams - contact me to discuss your requirements.
