I work as a Senor Academic Tutor on the South Wales Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. My role involves supporting the academic components of the programme, writing and delivering teaching, and supervising doctoral-level research.
In my clinical role, I am a consultant clinical psychologist who specialises in Neurodiversity, adapting psychological therapies to suit a neurodiverse population. I have extensive experience in leading Autism and Intellectual Disability services, and I aim to further research interests in Cardiff University within these areas.
