I believe it is incumbent on those producing media programmes to be psychologically responsible and ethical. Whether you are creating a factual programme in which you interview real people, a drama that involves sensitive issues, or a reality programme in which individuals are asked to publically confront difficult situations, it is necessary to have psychological support and/or consultation.
Having experience both behind and in front of the camera/microphone I am well placed to advise programme-makers on both the potential risks and opportunities that arise in the creation of a project. This can involve anything from a one-off conversation in which risks and opportunities are discussed and analysed, to an ongoing relationship in which I offer support throughout a project.
