Smart TMS Edinburgh, Scotland

Paul initially started his mental health career in Social Care, working with older adults with Alzheimer’s and practising palliative care. After completing his MA in Psychology from the University of Aberdeen, Paul embarked on putting his theory into practice. He became a Senior Support Worker at Camphill School Aberdeen, working with autistic young adults and managing challenging behaviour. He developed an immense passion for helping his service users develop their skills in emotional regulation, communication and positive behaviour strategies.

This led him to Edinburgh where he worked as a supervisor for a team managing adults with complex needs; enriching his knowledge on epilepsy, schizophrenia and acquired brain injuries. Paul has worked hard over his career to understand how mental health disorders impact the people he supports in unique ways. His hands-on experience has given him the confidence to deliver care in an effective, empowering and compassionate way.

Paul has met a variety of patients at Smart TMS: “All the patients I have met are at various stages of their treatment journey, but they all have one thing in common. They have a power, a resilience, and an inner strength within them, although it may not seem like it. They are some of the bravest people I’ve met. They were brave enough to ask for help”.
