ABOUT ME

I am the Treasurer for the Association for the Study of Death and Society (ASDS), Dissertation Supervisor and psychology Tutor at Ulster University (MSc psychology programme), regional contact for Wales for Trinity College Dublin Alumni, a member of the Sex and Sexuality Research Group (SSERG) at Portsmouth University, an Associate Lecturer and Dissertation Supervisor at the University of  Wolverhampton (MSc psychology programme). I am also currently acting as a voluntary advisor to an umbrella organisation in Uganda who are conducting research into VAWG within the local communities with the intention of informing RSE in schools and universities across the country. I am also designing and facilitating research-informed workshops within the Kurdish community in Wales to support community engagement and mental health. I also volunteer with children in a primary school.

 

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 was commissioned to write Grief Demystified: An Introduction for Jessica Kingsley Publishers which was published worldwide in 2018. 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.
