I began working in the NHS in 1995, qualifying as a clinical psychologist in 2001. Since then I have worked in the field of neuropsychological rehabilitation, predominantly within acquired brain injury services, but also including stroke, care of the elderly and broader neurology services.
I joined University of Gloucestershire in 2021, working two days a week with the university while continuing my clinical role in the NHS for the remaining three days. My hope is that both settings benefit from my role in the other setting.
I teach on modules introducing clinical psychology, counselling psychology and health psychology for the undergraduate Psychology BSc, and on modules relating to the experience of illness and related interventions for the MSc in Health Psychology. I contribute to teaching relating to neuropsychology and adjustment to long-term heath conditions across a range of courses. I contribute to neuropsychology teaching on the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in other university settings.
My main research interests relate to the practicalities of delivering effective neuropsychological rehabilitation in clinical settings. This has included the evaluation of the efficacy of group based self-management interventions in acquired brain injury contexts, and currently includes the development of a novel outcome measure relating to multidisciplinary inpatient neurotherapy, approaches to enhance staff communication with people in hospital settings who have cognitive/communication difficulties, development of novel bedside tests of cognition, and approaches to quantifying mental fatigue post brain injury.
