Dr Jan Van Niekerk

I qualified as a clinical psychologist in 1995. I worked as a locum clinical psychologist in the NHS in Cambridge from 2001 to 2002, and as a chartered clinical psychologist from 2003 to 2009. In my final year of employment in the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, I was a Principal Clinical Psychologist working in a secondary care service in Adult Mental Health.
