I then enjoyed clinical roles in brain injury rehabilitation and occupational therapy. In order to pursue a clinical role within psychology, I completed the Clinical Applications of Psychology Masters programme at Kingston University, graduating with a distinction and winning the Post Graduate Poster Prize. I began my PhD in the same year.
