Dr Mark Wheeler from iCarp - EP. 13 - The Get Fishing Podcast with Jimmy Willis

The Get Fishing Podcast

In Episode 13 of The Get Fishing Podcast, Jimmy Willis chats with Dr Mark Wheeler from iCarp.

Get Fishing for Well-being approved partners, iCarp is a programme developed in Essex that is changing the lives of military veterans, 999 personnel, vulnerable young people and many more by helping them overcome the debilitating symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Depression, Anxiety and many other challenging conditions.

Award-winning chartered psychologist Dr Mark Wheeler recognised a growing need to help those who were being failed by traditional mental health provision. In response, he developed a support package that has so far helped many people struggling with their mental well-being, with amazing results.

As a trauma specialist working in the NHS, Mark realised the patients he was seeing from Colchester Garrison were just the tip of the iceberg – many more required help, but a new approach was needed due to the perceived stigma around formal therapy. His original focus was to help military veterans struggling with PTSD.
