I specialize in adult mental health and social care policy, research and practice that are grounded in evidence and lived experience. I have a Theology MA and am interested in how values and ethics influence practice. My expertise includes service user participation, co-production, personalization and equality. I was a Senior Research Analyst at the Social Care Institute of Excellence (SCIE). I have lived experience of mental health service use and am currently Co-Chair of the National Survivor User Network (NSUN). I am also an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the School for Social Policy, Birmingham and Honorary Visiting Fellow at the School of Social Policy and Social Work at York.
