Summary

HCPC registered art psychotherapist and doctoral researcher investigating how we improve equitable access and engagement with art therapy for marginalised boys at risk of secondary school exclusion.I am planning to use critical participatory ethnography in academy schools, working with young people as co-researchers through an Expert Reference Panel. My clinical experience in forensic, trauma support and school settings grounds the research in practice, and the design is explicitly oriented towards policy impact.
