Professor Teena Clouston
Professor of Occupational Therapy
- Media commentator
- Available for postgraduate supervision
Overview
My research interests are focused on how neoliberal capitalism impacts on stress at work and how living a more meaningful and balanced life can enhance health, wellbeing, resilience and sustainability. My most recent book on this, ‘Challenging stress, burnout and rust-out: Finding balance in busy lives’ particularly explores how neoliberal capitalism impacts on stress at work, work-life or occupational balance and creates the stress and pressures of our modern lifestyles. I purport a focus on a more personally meaningful orientation to life as opposed to one driven by performance and growth in order to address this at indivudal and social levels. I am also interested in how facilitating staff wellbeing and compassionate leadership in organizational cultures can support health, wellbeing, and resilence and address burnout and compassion fatigue.
My clinical expertise is in all aspects of mental health. I also have expertise in working with people who have epilepsy and functional or dissociative seizures, specifically in terms of seizure control and techniques for living everyday life. I am also a qualified counsellor and as well as general support have specific expertise in working with people with gender dysphoria, adult survivors of child sex abuse and people suffering from post traumatic stress.
I have also researced and published papers on the teaching of care and compassion in health and social care practice, integrated teams, professionalisation and professional identity in health and social care practice and problem based learning.
I welcome postgraduate students (supervision and examining) in any of the following areas:
- Neoliberalism/stress/ work-life imbalance/resilience
- Meaning lin life, sustainability and life balance
- Organisationsl cultures and workplace stress
- Occupational science/ occupational balance
- Values, care and compassion in work and education
- Problem based learning/ inquiry based learning/ appreciative inquiry
- Professionalism/ interprofessional working
- Clincal areas as noted above
- Qualitative research and interpretive phenomenological analysis

Biography
Presently a Reader in occupational therapy, work-life balance and wellbeing in Cardiff University. I have held several strategic roles in the university. These include Director of learning in practice, professional lead for occupational therapy and programme manager for occupational therapy.
In my previous career I held key leadership roles in healthcare settings and prior to this worked in a variety of clinical settings including mental health, primary care, learning disabilities and neurology. I also have ten years experience in counselling with particular interest in working with survivors of child sexual abuse and perpetrators, stress and anxiety, brief therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy. I worked for two years in a psychosexual counselling setting as a therapist. I also worked in Aston University as part of a research project funded by the Welcome Foundation. The research was a randomised control drug trial investigating the effectiveness of lamotrigine and vigabatrin in seizure control for people with epilepsy (complex, partial and simple seizures). As a therapist I also used stress management/CBT/brief therapy techniques and aromatherapy as tools to self manage seizures.
