Make Birth Better Champion RSA Fellow

I am a psychologist at specialising in mental health, particularly in the perinatal period (for mothers, fathers and their families). I am now retired from Bournemouth University, but I still hold Visiting Fellow status there. During my time at BU, my work included education and research and published several papers on mental health. Following retirement, I will continue to campaign with the aim of improving mental health services. I will continue to serve on several local and national advisory groups for maternal mental illness. I represent mental health charities and other key organisations across Dorset, including Dorset Mind, Samaritans (Bournemouth & District) and DorPIP.

You can see more details of that work on the About page.
