I am a first-year trainee clinical psychologist (2023-2026). My first placement is a year long split placement between Working Age Adults Step 4 Psychological Therapies, and Older Adult CMHT.
Prior to training I completed my BSc in Psychology at University of Stirling, and MSc in Mental Health in Children and Young People at University of Edinburgh. During this time I worked as a support worker, mental health recovery worker and honorary research assistant. Following my MSc I became an Assistant Psychologist for two years in the Addictions Psychological Therapies Service in NHS Fife.
I am particularly interested in trauma and the impact on mental and physical health.
