Portfolio for Professional Doctorate in Health Psychology

This portfolio documents the work I have completed whilst undertaking the Professional Doctorate in Health Psychology at Staffordshire University between 2022-2025. This work was completed while I was employed as a Trainee Health Psychologist, in an NHS bursary placement set up by Staffordshire University and an NHS Trust in the Northwest (0.8 WTE). Opportunities external to this placement were also sought to fulfil the requirements of the doctorate. This portfolio is divided into the following chapters: 1. Professional Skills in Health Psychology 2. Research: From Design to Dissemination 3. Systematic Review 4. Consultancy in Health Psychology 5. Teaching and Training in Health Psychology 6. Health Psychology Interventions Throughout each chapter, I demonstrate evidence of my development of each of these competencies in the form of research manuscripts, case studies and reflective commentaries. The portfolio outlines the work I have undertaken, and details the learning, experiences and challenges that have shaped my growth as a Health Psychologist. Further details of the content of each chapter are provided in the introduction.
