John Mellor-Clark BSc MA
Managing Director
 
John Mellor-Clark has been engaged in the evaluation of UK psychological therapies and counselling for the past 20 years. Originally trained as an organisational psychologist, John's special interest in quality assurance in healthcare has led him to regularly publish and present on a range of topics such as best practice development, service quality benchmarking and introducing practitioner performance appraisal. Through the mid 1990's John led the development of the CORE System as the
first UK standardised quality evaluation system for psychological therapy. Today this system is used by over 250 services and 3,500 clinicians to help measure, monitor and manage therapy outcomes. The unique empirical yield from CORE helps create one of the single largest databases of practice-based evidence in the field.
