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.The work was conducted alongside full-time employment in a Dental Psychology service within the NHS.

This portfolio is divided into five chapters which represent the five core competencies of Health Psychology:

1.Professional Skills,
2.Research Methods,
3.Psychological Interventions,
4.Teaching and Training in Health Psychology,
5.Consultancy Skills.

Throughout each of the chapters, I present evidence of my development in the form of research manuscripts, case studies and reflective commentaries. These outlines both the work I have undertaken and the experience and knowledge I have developed in completing the work. Further details of the content of each chapter are provided in the introduction.
