Personal Introduction

Welcome to my webpage. I first came to the University of Chichester (then West Sussex Institute of Higher Education) in October 1994 when I came to start my PhD here. Since then I have taught, researched and offered my consultancy services at the university. I have published over 30 peer-reviewed articles and I am a British Psychological Society Chartered Sport & Exercise Psychologist. In the past, I have worked with the English Golf Union as a sport psychologist.
