This is Part 2 of my interview with clinical psychologist and researcher Dr Eric Morris. Eric currently works as the Director of the La Trobe University Psychology Clinic. Previously he worked as a consultant clinical psychologist and the psychology lead for early intervention for psychosis, at the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, UK.
Eric trained as a clinical psychologist in 1994-1995 at Murdoch University, specialising in psychological interventions for psychosis. On qualifying he worked in a pioneering service for early intervention for psychosis in Perth, Western Australia, before moving to the UK in 1999 to work for the National Health Service in Hampshire and South London. His clinical experience is in providing cognitive-behavioural and family interventions for people recovering from serious mental illness (psychosis, bipolar disorder) and their families.
Eric has been practising Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for 15 years, including supervising and training therapists in this area. He is a founding member and a former chair of the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Special Interest Group (ACTSIG) of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies.
In 2013 Eric completed his PhD at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, King’s College London, researching psychological flexibility and auditory hallucinations. He also researched ACT as a group-based intervention for people recovering from psychosis, and as a workplace resilience training for mental health workers.
Eric is a co-editor of the cutting-edge new textbook, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness for Psychosis.

Tim Cotter is an organisational and environmental psychologist who specialises in the psychology of sustainability. Tim started out in the early 1990’s applying psychology to organisations, through psychometric assessments, organisational surveys, and facilitating culture change and values development.
Meanwhile, he had a growing awareness that sustainability was the biggest change project the world needed, and that psychology would need to be a significant contributor. As a result he started a consulting business Awake, where he provides training, research, design, assessment and consulting services to organisations and communities seeking to create a culture of sustainability.
Since its beginnings in 2005, Awake has delivered projects, workshops and consulting services to hundreds of sustainability professionals and dozens of organisations throughout the world.
With a passion for translating psychological research into accessible, practical concepts, Tim speaks and writes prolifically on the topic, with over 1500 sustainability professionals subscribing to his monthly newsletter, Wake-Up Call.
Tim is a pioneer of the field. So lets see how we all wear it differently with Tim Cotter.
