- Profile
-
I joined the Health Service Research department of ScHARR in January 2015 within the Mental Health Group. I work across a number of research projects and combined teaching responsibilities. I currently work as part of the CLAHRC YH MH Co-morbidity theme, which looks at the evidence base for interventions for patients with coexisting physical and mental health problems. This entails narrative systematic reviews, qualitative service evaluations and mixed method approaches. I previously worked on the PRaCTICED trial which aims to produce robust evidence relating to the effectiveness of counselling for depression versus cognitive behavioural therapy in treating moderate to severe depression in adults.
I am also the ScHARR study skills coordinator, within this role I aim to established stronger networks and links with the wider university support services and disseminate this to ScHARR students.
I am a registered senior occupational therapist with the HCPC and a member of the British College of Occupational Therapist (BCOT), I have subsequently worked across a range of physical and mental health services, both in the public NHS and voluntary sectors across the UK.
