About
Biography
I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London. Following this I went on to complete a Master’s degree in Mental Health Studies at King’s College London and went on to qualify as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP) delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) interventions in several NHS services.
I completed my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Surrey. Since then, I have worked with adults in secondary care services who experience complex and enduring mental health difficulties.
I continue to work therapeutically with adults in NHS services. I have particular interests in the therapeutic relationship and working with adults with experiences of trauma. I offer clinical supervision to Trainee Clinical Psychologists both in my current role and in my NHS practice.

Teaching
My teaching at the University of Surrey is predominantly on the Clinical Psychology Doctoral programme. I co-convene the Core Concepts, Skills and Processes Unit (CCSP) which introduces Trainee Clinical Psychologists to the key principles and competencies required to practice as a reflective scientist-practitioner. I offer additional teaching on topics such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Clinical Supervision.
