We are pleased to act as consultants to the National and International Media on issues where the input of a psychologist experienced in the arts and media can be helpful. This is on an agreed basis but typical examples are:

* Short conversation by telephone: no fee but agreement to quote the source with some reference, e.g. website or publication
* Longer conversation by phone or including emails, requiring some time to consider the question and provide a response: fee from £50
* Personal appearance on radio, TV etc or contribution to a broadcast programme or major article or consultancy to advertising or PR or media companies: fee to be agreed

Below is a list of consultancy to date, showing the scope of topics available:
