I am a Clinical Psychologist aspiring to be part of the collective effort to reduce harms and injustice. Central to all my work is the application of research to practice & policy.​
​
I have expertise in a variety of related areas:
​
-
Understanding and preventing abuse and trauma, and ameliorating their impact in child and adulthood - with a particular focus on sexual abuse​ and exploitation
​
-
Understanding and tackling societal systems and norms conducive to harm, in particular those online
​
-
More widely supporting children and young people’s wellbeing and flourishing
​​
I am (part-time) Strategy Director at CEASE, a charity tackling the commercial and cultural drivers of sexual exploitation and abuse, and research lead at Fully Human, a think tank initiative of the PSHE Association.
​
I also undertake consultation, research & analysis, and psychological assessments, working with educators, the criminal justice system, victims and survivors, policy-makers, national organisations and charities. I write essays, reports, and papers; regularly speak at conferences; and am an experienced therapist.
