I am a Chartered BPS Psychologist and HCPC Registered Forensic Psychologist. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults, in both secure and community settings. My clients and I have overcome challenges such as engagement barriers, aggression, harmful sexual behaviours and exploitation.
I am skilled in risk assessment tools (HCR-20, SVR-20, SAPROF, J-SOAP II), clinical assessments (IPDE, SCID, WAIS IV, WISC V), functional analysis and formulation. Having a grounding within trauma-informed practice, I have further training in evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, Dialectic Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Life Minus Violence-Enhanced and RAID.
I currently work clinically with Meadows Psychology Service, offering specialist services for looked-after children, and the teams supporting them, through training, consultancy, intervention and assessment.
My research and clinical interests include forensic mental health, positive behavioural support, and enabling trauma informed environments.
