- Profile
-
I am an Emeritus Professor, a chartered clinical psychologist and Fellow of the British Psychological Society, and an accredited psychotherapist and NHS Consultant. My career spans five areas – research, teaching, clinical practice, health services policymaking, and NHS senior management. I have a longstanding commitment to using research to improve practice (and vice versa) and have led or contributed to many national policy initiatives in clinical psychology and psychological therapies. I have conducted research in the fields of mental health, life event stress, social support, health inequalities and psychological therapies.

My interests include the application of research to policy and practice, service evaluation, process and outcomes of psychotherapy in health service settings and psychotherapeutic competence.
