Brief bio

I am a consultant clinical psychologist and researcher, who loves to share psychology ideas.

I’ve worked in the NHS and third sector, and am currently a Clinical Academic Fellow at Bath University, making an intervention to reduce compassion fatigue and improve compassionate care in staff who work in mental health wards for teenagers.

I’m available for comment in print, and on TV or radio. Things I can talk about include:

• Children and young people’s mental health

• Healthcare staff wellbeing, compassion fatigue and burnout

• Cognitive behavioural therapy

• Compassionate healthcare

• Produced two series of the podcast Let’s Talk About CBT for the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, which you can find here.
