Lee Vallis – Addiction Psychologist
Lee Vallis is a registered psychologist with the British Psychological Society. He entered the field of addiction during the mid ‘90s, after developing a range of harm minimisation services aimed at curbing transmission rates of HIV and Hepatitis in the UK. Lee commenced his training as a psychologist in 2001 by studying Behavioural Science at Anglia Ruskin University before undertaking postgraduate training with the Open University. After that, he went on to specialise in Addiction at the University of Bath. A keen academic and researcher, Lee has worked in a broad range of national and international therapeutic settings. He has delivered high-quality substance misuse treatment for both charitable organizations and private facilities, including The Priory in the UK.
As an advocate of the clinical applications of group therapy in the treatment of addiction, Lee has worked in private practice to both increase the availability of group therapy in the UK and to enhance the clinical competencies of therapists. He has done this by providing clinical training and supervision in the delivery and analysis of Group Therapy.
In his work with clients at The Cabin, Lee specialises in the delivery of cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. His clinical interests include the development of effective treatment interventions that both deliver clinically effective outcomes and enduring positive change in clients’ lives.
