Trosolwg

Rwy'n Seicolegydd Clinigol profiadol sydd wedi gweithio mewn amrywiaeth o leoliadau academaidd a chlinigol. Mae'r rhain yn cynnwys prifysgolion, a lleoliadau iechyd meddwl cymunedol y GIG, seicoleg plant a theuluoedd, a lleoliadau iechyd corfforol. Ar hyn o bryd mae fy addysgu, ymchwil ac ymarfer clinigol yn rhychwantu nifer o feysydd gan gynnwys:

Asesu, llunio ac ymyrryd mewn cyflwyniadau iechyd meddwl gan gynnwys anhwylderau bwyta.
Dulliau o ddeall effaith, a chefnogi unigolion sydd â chyflyrau iechyd corfforol gan gynnwys Sglerosis Ymledol, thrombo-emboledd gwythiennol, ac anaf i linyn y cefn.

Mae rhan fawr o’m gwaith a’m hymchwil yn ymwneud ag ymgysylltu ag asiantaethau allanol. Ar hyn o bryd rwy’n ymwneud â phrosiectau gyda’r GIG, fferyllfeydd a sefydliadau trydydd sector. Yn dilyn arwain yr MSc Seicoleg Glinigol ac Iechyd Meddwl yn flaenorol fel cyfarwyddwr rhaglen (2018-2022), rwyf bellach yn gweithredu fel Tiwtor Derbyn ar gyfer y rhaglen. Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n addysgu myfyrwyr blwyddyn olaf a myfyrwyr ôl-raddedig, a hefyd yn goruchwylio ymchwil ôl-raddedig.

Mae fy rôl fel academydd clinigol yn cyfuno gwaith fel Uwch Ddarlithydd mewn Seicoleg Glinigol ac Iechyd yn y brifysgol ac fel Ymarferydd Arbenigol Seicolegydd Clinigol gyda bwrdd iechyd GIG lleol.

PS-M20 Eating Disorders

This module provides an in depth analysis of the current understanding of eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and night eating syndrome). Key risk factors, maintenance and treatment of eating disorders are discussed. Finally the argument that obesity should be considered an addiction and/or an eating disorder is critically considered.
PS-M24 Research Project

The research module will involve constructing and executing a substantial research project, usually conducted in connection to an abnormal and clinical research topic/theme. Previous research projects have spanned various applicable clinical settings linked to NHS trusts, mental health charities, forensic units and topics generated by academics based within the department of psychology. We also encourage students who come to the program with connections as a consequence of previous professional experience, to undertake projects that are linked to interests they have already established.
PSY352 Dimensions of Personality and Sexual Disorder

Personality and sexual disorders are two of the highest profile long-term psychological disorders that place significant demands on either mental health services, the judiciary system, or both. This module examines key disorders, including paedophilia, psychopathy/ anti-social personality disorder and borderline personality disorder. Diagnostic classification and a dimensional approach to personality disorders are discussed and contrasted. Each `disorder¿ is considered from biological/genetic, social/familial, societal, neurological and psychological explanatory frameworks. Treatments based on these models are critically reviewed.
