Research interests
Alongside my clinical work, I had the privilege of being a Clinical Lecturer and Academic Tutor on the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology Training Programme at the University of Leeds from 2015-2021.
I lectured on a range of topics, including clinical competencies, research design and methodology, statistical analysis, personal and professional development, the lifespan, grief, diversity, and service user involvement.
I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and was external examiner for the Clinical Psychology Doctoral Programme at University of Surrey from 2017-2021.
It was a great pleasure to be able to supervise a range of Doctoral thesis projects (see Publications section). Research interests continue to include: clinical supervision, psychometrics and measure development, child, adolescent and family mental health, male mental health, community-based endeavours.
I also occasionally write articles for The Square Ball, which requires 'research' of a different sort!
