I have a clinical and research interest in the psychology of sexualities and in gender identity and diversity, particularly the psychology of men and masculinities

I am available to put together trainings and CPD for those working in mental health and regularly give training for NHS Trusts and private sector psychotherapists and psychologists. In addition, I am able to give trainings on diversity and inclusion and how to build good mental health in the workplace for commercial organisations.
