ABOUT ME

I am an Associate Lecturer and Dissertation Supervisor at the University of  Wolverhampton (MSc psychology programme), a Tutor at Ulster University (MSc psychology programme), a Dissertation Supervisor at the University of Portsmouth (MSc psychology programme), a member of the Sex and Sexuality Research Group, a member of the Association for the Study of Death and Society, Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees at Sexpression:UK (student-led RSHE), and regional contact for Wales for Trinity College Dublin Alumni. 

 

I have previously contributed to research projects at the University of Edinburgh, Bradford University, and the Open University.  I have also contributed to the Qingming Festival in China, the first Mental Health Carnival in Uganda, and delivered RSHE content in schools. I also deliver training to corporate and other clients, and am currently working on several projects disseminating my research findings on the bio-ecological impact of adolescent abortion and miscarriage to inform policy and practice, so please get in touch if you have any specific training needs.   

 

I was commissioned to write Grief Demystified: An Introduction for Jessica Kingsley Publishers which was published worldwide in November, 2017.   It has been endorsed by several world renowned experts in grief such as Dr Colin Murray Parkes OBE, Prof Robert Neimeyer, and Prof Edith Maria Steffen.  It has also been endorsed by Hospice UK, the British Association of Social Workers, the Counselling & Psychotherapy Journal and is recommended reading on a multitude of undergraduate, postgraduate and professional training courses.

​

I am currently working on an edited book with Dr Sarah Helton that explores the "frontiers" of bereavement research from an interdisciplinary, intersectional perspective: new academic theories, models and frameworks, to inform practitioners, lay people and any other interested persons. If you would like to submit an abstract, please contact me for further details.
