She is a qualified nurse (both Adult and Mental Health registrations), academic and practising psychotherapist, and is an accredited member of the British Association of Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapists.

Industry Reviews

This is an excellent contemporary text and a must read for student all mental health nurses and those who are currently practicing in mental health. Amongst its many strengths are the critical and philosophical perspectives that provides excellent insights. -- Thomas Currid * Email * Who would have thought the second edition of Essentials of Mental Health Nursing could better the original? Chock full of excellent case studies, infused even more with the voice of those with lived experience, and highly interactive. The book really gets to the nub of what is essential in mental health nursing and will appeal to students and registered nurses alike. Beg, steal, or borrow a copy, you won't be disappointed! -- Patrick Callaghan * Email *
