Biography
I am a clinical psychologist and researcher in neuropsychology. Since 2016 I have been seconded part time from my clinical role to serve as Academic Tutor on the DClinPsy programme at KCL. My initial degree in psychology was from the University of Exeter (2004) and my PhD from the University of Cambridge and MRC Cognition & Brain Sciences Unit (2008). After a fellowship period also at the MRC CBU (2007-2010), I came to KCL for clinical training, obtaining my DClinPsy in 2013. Since then, I have held a mix of academic and clinical posts in varying proportions. I spent almost 5 years working at the Oliver Zangwill Centre for Neuropsychological Rehabilitation (see this website for more information), leaving in 2018 for my current post at the Wolfson Neurorehabilitation Centre, part of St George’s NHS Foundation Trust. At the Wolfson I specialize in outpatient cognitive rehabilitation, and am also lead for research for the Department of Clinical Neuropsychology and Clinical Health Psychology.
