Ian Cookson

I tend to take a fairly consistent approach to tutoring and workshops. I set out the issue, and the theory and talk through that, and then give some practical examples. We then work through some ideas together, so that you can ask questions. I often give students and clients something to take away with them to think about before our next session. I have the advantage that in addition to leading seminars in Higher Education my wife is a primary school teacher so we share ideas about lesson delivery!

Teaching in higher education has provided me with some great experience in delivering content across different psychology modules, along with marking on different undergraduate modules. I have been able to take these experiences into my applied practice and deliver sessions that are suited to the clients level. Conversely my experience as a sport and exercise psychologist and researcher provide me with useful illustrations of psychological theory and method to help students understand complex ideas.
