Welcome

Hi there - I am Dr Brendan J Dunlop (he/him) and I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist.

I currently work part-time for an NHS Trust in the North West of England. In addition I work part-time as the Deputy Director for Research and Clinical Lecturer in Clinical Psychology on the ClinPsyD clinical psychologist training programme at The University of Manchester, in England. I am also Associate Editor for the academic journal Psychology and Psychotherapy: Theory, Research and Practice.

I completed my Bachelor of Science undergraduate degree in Psychology and Language Sciences at University College London, and my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at The University of Manchester. I am also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).

I have now either studied or worked in mental health care for 11 years. This has included work within prisons and secure forensic mental health care, with children and young people, with those that have had a brain injury or a stroke, with people that have intellectual disabilities, with people living with HIV, and adults that have severe and enduring mental health difficulties.

Feel free to take a look on this website, which includes information about The Queer Mental Health Workbook that was published in 2022. You will also find details of the research that I have published. In addition, you can find out more about the independent therapy and additional services that I provide.

Please do feel free to get in touch, if you think I can be of assistance to you, your family or the team/organisation you work for.
