Bio

I am originally from Australia and have been living in the UK since 2017. I have worked clinically across a range of public and private settings with people of all ages and various psychological difficulties.

 

My main areas of interest are family therapy, multi-family therapy, formulation, adolescent development, gender, eating disorders, self-harm and suicidal behaviours, and emotional overcontrol.

 

I regularly publish and provide international consultation, teaching, and supervision in these areas.  I most like working with teams on service development and transformation.

​

In addition to private consultations, I work in the UK National Health Service (NHS) as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist. I am currently the Joint Head of the Maudsley Centre for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders (MCCAED). I am also an Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN), King's College London, where I coordinate the Child Teaching Stream for the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy) programme and am a member of the Centre for Research in Eating And Weight Disorders (CREW) and LGBTQ+ Mental Health Research Group. I am also an Associate of Curtain University and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society (BPS).
