Portfolio for Professional Doctorate in Health Psychology.

This portfolio showcases the range of work I have completed as part of the Professional Doctorate in Health Psychology at Staffordshire University between 2022 to 2025. I completed my doctoral training whilst working in a pain management service at a specialist tertiary hospital in the NHS. To meet the doctoral requirements, I also took opportunities to complete work at University of Staffordshire and a private clinical health psychology practice.

The portfolio is organized into five sections, each aligned with the core competencies required for the Doctorate in Health Psychology:

1. Professional Skills
2. Advanced Research Methods

3. Consultancy in Health Psychology

4. Psychological Interventions

5. Teaching and Training in Health Psychology

Each part encompasses evidence for my development as a Health Psychologist. This includes research manuscripts, case studies and reflective commentaries that demonstrate my progression and learning for each competency. An overview of each section’s contents is provided in the introductory chapter.
