We’ve only gone and done it! We received the 2025 @AdvanceHE Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence. I’m over the moon and feel blessed to have this award alongside my 2023 NTF. Pleasure working with the team including @mtkilmister @hongyanghyxy, @sineadoflynn, @vishinair5
It’s an honour to be part of the @UniofReading 2025 nomination for the @AdvanceHE Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence! We’ve all worked so hard in the decolonising space at Reading and this nomination means a lot to me.

I’m writing a piece on coming out as LGBTQIA at University and I would really value speaking to others who also have lived experience of this. If you’re interested in answering a few brief questions, please do send me a direct message!

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” – Nelson Mandela

So exciting to see this listed for pre-order. When I hatched the plan for this book back in late 2022 I never expected that 36 people would end up contributing towards chapter content. Roll on March! routledge.com/Becoming-a-CBT…
