I graduated from the University of Sussex in 1985 with a degree in experimental psychology and followed this with a PGCE in primary education. I then went on to study for a Ph.D. in experimental psychology at Sussex. Following re-training as a Clinicial Psychologist, I worked locally from 1999 to 2018 in a CAMHS team.
My clinical work is with children and families and my main clinical model is systemic. I take a lead on the child and family unit on the Salomon's course and also lead on the Lifespan Development Unit. I am also working with Louise Goodbody to establish jiont accreditation for our trainees in Foundation in Systemic theory and practice.
