Abstract: Jane Gilbert has extensive clinical and managerial experience as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in the UK National Health Service (NHS) and has been freelance since 2001. She has carried out consultancies within a variety of mental healthcare environments, and is a skilled facilitator. She has designed and delivered workshops on cross-cultural mental health in the Gambia, Lesotho, Uganda, and the UK, and contributed to pre-departure cultural awareness courses for UK NGOs. Her workshops and publications have focused on the synthesis of Western knowledge with traditional approaches to emotional distress, and she is particularly interested in the development of culturally appropriate curricula in mental health.
