About the Expert
Dr Ian Gill a Registered Clinical Psychologist. He has worked in the NHS for 17 years and after gaining some experience with clients and clinical work, decided to train in clinical psychology. He graduated with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Lancaster University in 2012. Within the NHS he has specialised in eating disorders and has been the clinical lead for the Manchester Eating Disorders Service for the last 6 years. He also has specialised in trauma presentations, in their various forms, having worked clinically and within research in this area. He has worked across various sectors in the NHS, including primary and secondary care services, as well as community and inpatient settings. He also sits on the editorial board for Clinical Psychology Forum, a UK journal for the British Psychological Society, and is a member of the UK Psychological Trauma Society, as well as the European Society for Traumatic Stress Studies.
He is passionate about person-centred, compassionate, and high standard, ethical practise. He enjoys working with individuals to help them move forward in their life, and although working in the NHS comes with challenges, he likes being able to work a team and individuals to problem-solve and over these. In addition to NHS work, his has undertaken private independent work since 2014, including medio-legal work. He enjoys being able to provide high-quality assessments, to clients who sometimes have been unable to access care in the NHS and may not have even spoken about their experiences before.
He lives in Manchester, having moved there for his undergraduate degree in 2004, studying at The University of Manchester, and loved the city so much with its diversity, fun, and community spirit, that he has been there ever since. However, he still visits his hometown of Southport regularly, where some of his family still live, and finds peace being near the beach (and the sea, when it is in, which isn’t so often in Southport!).
Outside work, his passions include travel and experiencing new cultures. Having been to 6 continents and over 40 countries, with more in the pipeline. Being a big lover of food, tasting new food and dishes from other cultures is one of his favourite things. He also can speak Italian, as well as some French and British Sign Language. He also enjoys exercise, being keen on running, rock climbing, and attending gym. He often has a race he is training for, having completed 10ks, half-marathons and marathons. In 2025 he has two races coming up, in Manchester and Yorkshire, although more might be added to the list before the year is out.
He has clinics in various areas, including Manchester, Liverpool, Burnley, Huddersfield, and Warrington.
