I am a Senior Research Fellow at the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, and most of my research and teaching is done in partnership with University College London. I work across several different research projects, with a focus on attachment difficulties, including attachment disorders, and trauma in children who are or have been looked after or are at risk of entering care. In my research I use different methods ranging from observations and interviews to event-related potentials (EEG). More recently I became particularly interested in the development and evaluation of intervention programmes for children with experiences of care. I also work as a psychologist in a clinical service offering an attachment-based parenting intervention to adoptive, kinship and foster parents.
