A bogus doctor who had 'more psychiatric qualifications than Sigmund Freud ' and used her husband and parents as fake references has been unmasked as a serial liar . Sarah Sims claimed she had a long list of qualifications from the University of London and said she had been given a 'ladyship ' by Warwick University . The three-times married 'doctor ' also claimed she had been an officer in the Ministry of Defence as she applied to be head of childcare services at a children 's home in Folkestone , Kent . But she was finally exposed as a fraud after the employers discovered her qualifications were completely made up . Sarah Sims claimed she had been given a doctorate by the University of London ( pictured ) , but it just was one of a long list of lies she told . Sims , 41 , claimed on her CV that she received a first class bachelor 's degree , master 's degree and philosophy doctorate from the University of London . She said her last job had been lead welfare officer at the MoD , and included glowing testimonial from her line manager Sergeant Major Darren Pugh . Three-times married Sims , who lives in a £1million home near Canterbury , also claimed to be a member of the 'British Association of Counselling and Psychology ( BCAP ) . ' She added that she had been awarded the title of 'Ladyship ' from Warwick University for community 'good works ' . The highly-qualified 'doctor ' seemed the perfect fit for the role as operations director at Ferndearle Child Care Services - until it was revealed that nearly her entire CV was a lie . A jury at Canterbury Crown Court heard that Sims did not receive any of the psychology degrees she claimed to own , and her university had no record of her ever being a student there . Warwick University said it never gives out the title of 'ladyship ' and the British Association of Counselling and Psychology does not exist . Sims ' glowing reference from her 'line manager ' Sergeant Major Darren Pugh turned out be be her 48-year-old husband - Darren Pugh - who was himself cleared of fraud . The three-times married 'doctor ' also claimed she had been an officer in the Ministry of Defence as she applied to be head of child care services at a nursing home , Canterbury Crown Court ( pictured ) heard . The court also heard that two other references listed on Sims ' CV as 'therapeutic supervisors ' were actually her parents . Piers Reed , prosecuting , told how Sims applied for the Folkestone post in February 2011 , saying she was considering leaving the Army . Mr Reed said : 'She said she was a doctor of psychology and was interested in working for Fearndale . She contacted the manager and part-owner of the home and arranged to visit . ' 'Mr Pugh had been in the Army , but not at that time . In her job application , she stated she had been a student at London University and had obtained a BA in Psychology , an MA and Phd in Behavioural Psychology . 'Under the heading , she said she was a member of BCAP and , under the Awards heading , stated that , in May 1997 , she had been awarded a ladyship from Warwick University for services to the community . ' But Mr Reed said that said Sims appeared to have 'more psychiatric qualifications than Sigmund Freud ' , but there were no records of her attending university . Mr Reed added : 'BCAP does n't exist . The British Psychological Society and the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy do exist , but neither have ever heard of her . 'And the University of Warwick , while conferring awards , never confer titles such as 'Ladyship ' . 'In her CV , she also claimed to have worked as a lead consultant director for a company called EIS . There are no records of her ever working for EIS . ' Mr Reed told the court that Sims obtained a mortgage on her property after telling Halifax she was earning between £80,000 and £150,000 . In fact , at the time , she was jobless . Sims was found guilty of four counts of fraud and will be sentenced next month .
