I teach (and supervise) on the doctoral programme in clinical psychology at UEA. I am also a guest lecturer on the MB/BS medical degree programme at UEA, at the University of Cambridge (BSc and MRCPsych) and the University of Glasgow (MSc).

Teaching interests include neuropsychological assessment and intervention; understanding the cognitive, emotional, behavioural and psychosocial consequences of brain damage (both adult and child); cognitive disorders in childhood; research methodology and design.
