Personal profile

Biography

I am Associate Dean for Quality and Accreditation (QA) within the College of Arts and Society at Coventry University, and previously Associate Head for QA and Student Experience in Psychological, Social and Behavioural Sciences. I create and lead initiatives to support academic staff in the delivery of education with high quality academic standards, maximising student attainment and student experience.

I am a Chartered Psychologist (British Psychological Society) and a Coach and Mentor (Institute of Leadership and Management).

Since 2009 I have worked with Probation Trusts, CICs and Charities that support people through behavioural change to reduce harm. This work involves:
- Conducting research to help organisations establish their ethos and clarify their mission
- Designing evidence-based behavioural change programmes to operationalise their mission
- Training programme facilitators (& training the trainer)
- Supervising facilitators
- Routine programme updates and refresher training

Areas of Expertise:

Leadership in student experience, quality and accreditation. Psychology, offender rehabilitation, solution-focused therapy, coaching and mentoring.

Research Interests

Offender rehabilitation, strengths-based approaches to the treatment of offenders, Criminal Justice Processes

Vision Statement

I see that in the future, the most effective offender rehabilitation programmes will prove to be those that adopt strengths-based approaches, that encourage and empower facilitators to work therapeutically with individuals, including those deemed unmotivated to change.
