Dr Paul Warren is the Clinical Advisor to ACS. He is a retired NHS Consultant General Adult Psychiatrist and continues to work in the medico-legal field. His role was to diagnose and plan treatment for service users with a variety of psychiatric diagnoses and to make decisions as to whether medication, therapy or a combination of both was of most value. In ACS, his role is to assess clients who may have a mental illness that may make counselling difficult or unsuitable and, at times, to provide reassurance for Supervisors and Counsellors.
