Profile

Dr Zahl works in the NHS as a senior Clinical Psychologist. He set up the Chronic Fatigue treatment service at the Churchill Hospital, and also works at the Oxford Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism as lead psychologist. He supervises CBT therapists and co-ordinates research and audit projects in primary care.
