Since qualifying I have undertaken additional therapy training to include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness. I am a Chartered psychologist, a Practitioner Health Psychologist and a Clinical Hypnotherapist. I hold an academic post and conduct research into a number of areas of health psychology and behavioural science including living with and beyond cancer, treatment decision-making, suicide and self-harm and the effectiveness of psychological interventions. I have a record of scientific publications and regularly present research at national and international conferences.
