Having honed her clinical experience over 15 years, she remains committed to generating practice-based research, and alongside treatment, provides supervision and training to early-career clinicians, drawing on expert knowledge of model-based treatments such as FBT/CBTe, as well as on the principles core to good ED treatment.
