    Personal profile

    Biographical details

    I completed a BSc in psychology and cognitive neuroscience at the University of Nottingham. I chose to continue my studies at the University of Nottingham where I completed a Masters in Health Psychology.

    After my Masters, I wanted to work in a clinical setting. I trained as a psychological wellbeing practitioner. I worked for Nottingham City Primary Care Trust as part of the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) initiative. In this role, I wanted to explore further how we can tailor psychological interventions to manage emotional distress in the context of long-term conditions. This led me to complete a NIHR funded PhD exploring these issues in people with Type 2 diabetes at the Centre for Primary Care, University of Manchester.

    I moved to King's in 2013, I continue to develop and evaluate psychological interventions which meet the needs of people experiencing distress in the context of their long-term condition(s). I am interested in the potential for digital health to improve access to care. My passion for this means that I was awarded a place on the Digital Pionner Fellowship Programme 19/20 cohort. This programme is ran by Digital Health London.  

    I also co-ordinate the IAPT Long-Term Conditions and Persistent Physical Symptoms Training to support the translation of research into practice.
