Portfolio for the Professional Doctorate in Health Psychology.

This portfolio documents the work I have completed during my Professional Doctorate in Health Psychology (2021-2025) at the University of Staffordshire (formerly Staffordshire University). During my doctoral studies I worked as a band 7 Clinician in the Family Intensive Support Service – Autism Spectrum Condition (FISS-ASC) at an NHS Trust in the South-East of England. External opportunities were also sought to complete the programme.

The portfolio is divided into six chapters:

1. Professional Skills in Health Psychology

2. Research from Design to Dissemination

3. Systematic Review

4. Health Psychology Interventions

5. Consultancy in Health Psychology

6. Teaching and Training in Health Psychology

Within each chapter, I present evidence of my development in the form of research manuscripts, case studies and reflective commentaries. These outline the work I have completed, and the experience and skills I have developed over the course of the doctorate. Further details of the chapter contents are provided in the introduction.
