I earned my primary medical qualification in 2000 from the University of the West Indies, Jamaica, followed by postgraduate training in Anaesthesia in Denmark. I also completed a PhD in Health Sciences, which led to multiple peer-reviewed publications and presentations at international conferences. I am registered on the GMC Specialist Register and have over 20 years of clinical experience.

My passion for non-surgical facial aesthetics began in the UK. After extensive study, I achieved a postgraduate-level medical aesthetics qualification from Harley Academy. I currently work in the NHS Intensive Care Unit and also practise aesthetic medicine at Ambulant Physiotherapy, delivering natural-looking, anti-ageing results using evidence-based techniques and FDA-approved products.

My name is Glyn Harris, and I am a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist practising in the North-West of England. I also work as a registered mental health nurse, with extensive experience across NHS and private sector mental health services.

On my days off, I enjoy climbing and caving. These activities have given me a deep understanding of fear, anxiety, and panic, as well as strategies to manage them—insights I bring directly into my CBT practice for anxiety disorders.

I view therapy as a journey, an adventure that offers the opportunity for personal growth, new beginnings, and finishing in a better place than where you started. I work for the NHS as a High-Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and also practise at Ambulant Physiotherapy, helping clients achieve lasting improvements in mental wellbeing and coping skills.
