- 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.
