Professional experience

I began my career in the NHS in 2005 and thereafter have worked in several NHS Trusts in different parts of the country before moving into private practice. I have worked in mental health (adults and older people), eating disorder, neuro-rehabilitation and hospital-based services, with individuals, couples, families and teams. I also have an understanding of the needs of people from diverse ethnic backgrounds based on my clinical and academic experience.

I hold a senior academic post at a university alongside my clinical practice. I have experience of organising and presenting at a wide range of events and have been interviewed for podcasts, Instagram events and radio shows, as well as featuring in psychology campaigns by a leading educational publishing company.

Educational background

• 2011 - DClinPsy Clinical Psychology Doctorate from the University of Oxford

• 2006 - MRes Psychology from the University of Birmingham

• 2005- BSc Psychology (Hons) from the University of Leicester

Professional Development

As a scientist-practitioner, maintaining the highest level of quality and adhering to professional codes and standards are very important to me. I engage in regular clinical supervision and continued reading and learning to keep my skills up to date.

I have supervised over forty trainee research projects, have published in peer-reviewed journals and am an associate journal editor for ‘Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy’.
