Brief CV

I have ten years experience of undertaking diagnostic assessments of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress and cognitive impairment, and in the preparation of psychological assessment reports for use by immigration lawyers and UK immigration courts.

I have eight years experience of undertaking assessments of learning disability (mental handicap) and suggestibility for use in civil and criminal law cases in the UK.

My current research and forensic interests include the assessment and detection of abnormal fire interest among detained arsonists, and the risk profiling of fire-setters.
