How deep my understanding of these issues is
I have been interested in psychology for as long as I can remember and most of my working life has been dedicated to understanding and supporting people experiencing mental health challenges.
I have been working in private practice at The Glow Centre since 2019 and prior to that, I worked for many years in community services in the UK and Australia, assisting people with a variety of complex needs.
I enjoy the challenge of the constantly evolving science that is psychology, and strive to continuously grow and learn to keep up to date with the latest developments and research.
