Dr Andrew Wood

I’m Andrew, an HCPC-registered Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Consultant Clinical Neuropsychologist. I have over thirteen years of post-qualification experience working in the NHS in a variety of settings, and I am currently Clinical Lead for the Neuropsychology service in NHS Lanarkshire. I have expertise in treating a range of mental health presentations, including anxiety, depression, anger, phobias, panic attacks and OCD, as well as adjustment and difficulties which affect adherence to, and engagement with, medical treatments.

I have specialist knowledge and skills in the assessment and treatment of emotional, cognitive and behavioural difficulties associated with neurological disorders, including Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy, Brain Injury, Stroke, Tics/ Tourette’s, Parkinson’s disease and other rarer conditions. I also have extensive experience in the treatment of Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and Non-Epileptic Seizures (NES) and understand the unique illness experiences associated with these conditions.

I am the NHS Neuropsychology coordinator for the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Edinburgh, where I provide lectures on assessment, rehabilitation and therapy skills when working with people with cognitive impairment. I am committed to evidence-based practice and stay on top of recent developments in the fields of clinical psychology and neuropsychology.
