Portfolio for Professional Doctorate in Health Psychology

This portfolio presents the work I completed during my Professional Doctorate in Health Psychology at the University of Staffordshire between 2022-2025. At the start of my training, I worked as a Trainee Health Psychologist in an Early Intervention in Psychosis team within the NHS. In August 2024, I moved to a lecturer position. To complete all of the doctorate competencies, I also sought external opportunities.

The portfolio is presented over six chapters, each focusing on a core competency of the training.
1. Professional Skills in Health Psychology
2. Research from Design to Dissemination
3. Systematic Review
4. Consultancy in Health Psychology
5. Health Psychology Interventions
6. Teaching and Training in Health Psychology

Each chapter presents evidence of my work in the format of research manuscripts, case studies, and reflective commentaries. These demonstrate the work I have completed and present both my experiences and development of skills over the past three years. Further details of each chapter are provided in the introduction.
