Message

In NHS Veterans’ Mental Health Services at St Pancras Hospital, I supported psychological assessments and clinical outcome measures for veterans experiencing trauma-related mental health difficulties. I also contributed to service evaluation and multidisciplinary team meetings, and maintained confidential clinical records.

At Zen Educate, I support children and young people with emotional, behavioural and additional support needs, adapting one-to-one and small-group support to individual needs. My research includes a quantitative MSc dissertation on menstrual cycles, comorbidities and symptom burden in women with ADHD, and a qualitative study of post-military adjustment in UK veterans.
