I qualified in 2012 from Staffordshire and Keele University Clinical Psychology Doctorate course and am registered with the HCPC and am a member of the BPS.  Following qualification I worked in the National High Secure Learning Disabilities Service at Rampton Hospital, gaining experience working with people with forensic needs, Learning Disabilities and diagnoses of Personality Disorders.  I have also worked in Forensic Rehabilitation and with people with Learning Disabilities and forensic needs in the community.

I am currently a Principal Clinical Psychologist in a Community Learning Disabilities Team.  I am the Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Lead and facilitate organisation-wide adoption of current good practice.

I have a special interest in working with people with Learning Disabilities and a range of issues such as forensic needs, relationship difficulties and behaviour that challenges.  I work with staff teams and organisations as well as with individuals and have a passion for leadership, supervision and organisational change.
