Professional interests and clinical work
My research and professional interests reflect areas that are also important within my clinical work, particularly the psychological impact of diabetes and other long-term health conditions.
Alongside my NHS and research roles, I work as a psychotherapist in private practice in Bath and online, offering psychotherapy, EMDR and supervision.
