Structure, not availability.
Protocols, not open-ended promises.
For clinicians, researchers, services and media that want protocol-based collaboration around trauma, PTSD, complex trauma and addiction — with clear roles, defined scope and outcomes we can actually evaluate.
Five contexts.
One common thread.
Trauma, PTSD and addiction work is most effective when it's structured. The people who contact me tend to know this — they've seen what happens when it isn't.
If your work centres on trauma and addiction circuits — clinical, research, institutional or public — there's likely a meaningful fit here. The relevant question is whether the scope is realistic and the goals are specific enough to evaluate.
"Even if you do not see your exact role named here, you may still be in the right place. The next step is a short outline of your context and aims — so we can see whether collaboration makes clinical and practical sense."
Parallel work.
Not parallel therapists.
Clinical collaboration focuses on structured, time-limited trauma work — not informal second opinions. I work alongside existing treating teams, with transparent roles and explicit client consent.
For individual clinicians
You may have a client whose insight is high and risk contained, yet trauma or addiction patterns remain stubbornly unchanged. In such cases, I can offer a defined block of Mental Engineering with clear goals agreed between all three parties. You remain the primary therapist. My role ends with a concise summary of what was targeted and what shifted.
"I do not act as an invisible second therapist. Any shared cases require transparent roles, clear communication and explicit consent from the client."
For clinics & centres
Services often need a structured trauma track that plugs into existing pathways without rewriting the whole programme. I can help design or deliver protocol-based blocks focused on trauma and trauma–addiction circuits, with clear inclusion criteria and outcome markers. A small cohort pilot first — refined based on clinical feedback and measurable change.
"The goal is to strengthen your existing service — not to replace or compete with it. Any collaboration begins with a clear question: who is this for, and what are we trying to change?"
Clinical practice
meets doctoral research.
I am interested in focused collaboration where Mental Engineering can be tested or applied within clear research designs — not loosely added as 'one more technique' to an existing protocol.
Any potential project needs a clear research question, ethical footing and realistic scope. If these are in place, what I bring to the collaboration is a structured, manualisable intervention with defined outcome markers — and the capacity to contribute across both quantitative and qualitative data.
Clinical precision.
No quick fixes.
No borrowed drama.
I work with media and public platforms that want clinically grounded, non-sensational coverage of trauma, PTSD and addiction. The focus is clear explanations, realistic expectations and language that doesn't exploit people's pain for attention.
"In all public-facing work I avoid graphic detail, individual case exposure and quick-fix promises. The aim is to make trauma and addiction understandable — not to diagnose or treat anyone through media."
If you're looking for a clinician who will speak plainly, stay accurate and decline to sensationalise — and who has doctoral-level research behind the positions he takes — that's the basis for collaboration.
Send a media briefPrecision and structure
where they are needed.
The aim is to add what is missing in your setting — not to override or dilute what you already provide. In any joint work I prioritise clear roles, documentation and realistic aims.
Clinical practice centred on trauma, PTSD, complex trauma and addiction patterns — with experience in online work and time-limited, outcome-focused interventions that have defined entry and exit criteria.
Doctoral research in clinical psychology on trauma, PTSD and personal metaphors, with Mental Engineering used as a defined, documentable intervention method — not a loosely described approach.
A protocol-based, engineering mindset that focuses on circuits, markers and review points. The work has a structure, a start and an end. Not open-ended support dressed up as therapy.
Ability to communicate the same material in clinical, academic and plain language — adjusting depth without distorting the underlying mechanisms. Useful in collaborative work, publication and public education alike.
Structured from the first
contact. Not just from the agreement.
A short outline, not a pitch
You send a brief description of your context, client group or project — and what you think collaboration with me could add in concrete terms. No lengthy proposals required at this stage. A focused paragraph is more useful than a comprehensive brief.
Online. Focused. Time-limited.
We arrange a focused online call to clarify aims, clinical or research boundaries, practical constraints and whether Mental Engineering is actually appropriate for your setting. If it becomes clear during this call that the fit isn't there, I'll say so directly.
Scope, roles, review points
If we proceed, we agree on scope, roles, communication channels, documentation, timelines and how we will review outcomes and close the collaboration. The goal is that we both know exactly what we are doing, for whom, and why — before any clinical or research work begins.
Important boundaries.
A short outline
is the right first step.
If you see a clear overlap between your work and mine — send a brief description of your context, population and aims. From there we can assess whether collaboration is a realistic and meaningful fit. If it isn't, I'll say so directly rather than stretching the method beyond where it belongs.
