About me
I qualified as a social worker in 1999 (University of London) and I am a former social work senior practitioner and qualified Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP). I am also a Thorn trained practitioner in integrated approaches to psychosocial interventions in mental health care. I worked for The Open University (2008-2017) and now at UWE (2017+). My teaching is focused on mental health care and working with adults at risk.
I am the joint Programme Leader for UWE's undergraduate qualifying social work training.
My research interest area is mental health care, particularly in relation to health inequalities, the social determinants of mental health, and social work practice. In 2024 I completed my doctorate at Cardiff University undertaking research about this topic with the Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust.
Registered social worker with Social Work England (no: SW33448) and a fellow of the Higher Education Academy
