Teaching and supervision
Research interests
I supervise undergraduate and post graduate projects with a mental health focus. I also second supervise PhD projects where there is a strong clinical/forensic application of the research topic and the project is based around or related to the evaluation or audit of mental health/forensic services.

My work supports that of HR by designing and delivering bespoke workshops for employees of Goldsmiths to improve health and happiness at work.
