About Me

With a Professional Doctorate in Developmental and Educational Psychology from Surrey University I have a career spanning over 45 years.

I am an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society, and remain registered with the Health and Care Professions Council as a Practitioner Psychologist.

After more than 15 years specialising in clinical assessments of children with PDA I am now focussing on writing ‘New Insights into Pathological Demand Avoidance’.

Prior to my career as a Specialist Consultant Educational Psychologist in private practice, I had a successful academic career where I held posts in several high-ranking Universities including a Readership in Social Research Methods in Surrey, and Lectureships at The Open University, Birmingham City, Northampton, Gloucestershire, Chester, Bolton, and Salford. I also held research posts at Bangor and Lincoln Universities.
