He holds a Clinical Master’s Degree and a Higher Diploma in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and has extensive experience supporting adults, children, adolescents, teenagers and families with a broad range of emotional and psychological difficulties.
Throughout his career, Fergus has worked in a variety of therapeutic and educational environments, including general psychotherapy services, schools, university support services and a specialist centre for gender identity.
