I completed my undergraduate degree in psychology at York University in 2000, following which I worked as a Research Associate at the University of East Anglia before completing my Clinical Psychology training there in 2005. Since qualifying, I have worked in the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service in Suffolk. I have a particularly interest in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Therapy at Oxford University in 2010. In addition to my clinical work, I have been actively involved in the development of the ROCKY OCD research project and worked on the project as a trial therapist since 2008. I joined UEA as a Clinical Tutor at the start of 2011.
