I joined CJCH Solicitors in November 2026 as a Paralegal within the firm’s Mental Health Department. Having developed a strong academic interest in mental health through my studies in psychology, I was keen to pursue a career in law where I could combine this knowledge with a commitment to protecting the rights and interests of individuals experiencing mental health difficulties.
I graduated from Swansea University with First-Class Honours in BSc Psychology before completing an MSc in Clinical Psychology and Mental Health, achieving a Merit. My academic background has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of psychological wellbeing, mental health, and the complexities that can shape an individual’s circumstances. Following my studies, I sought to build upon this foundation by transitioning into the legal profession, with a particular interest in mental health law and the protections afforded to individuals under the mental health legislation.
Alongside my academic qualifications, I have previous experience in complex neurological care, which has strengthened my ability to communicate with individuals from diverse backgrounds and approach sensitive situations with empathy and understanding. I have also completed Transactional Analysis 101 through the Connexus Institute, further developing my understanding of human behaviour, interpersonal relationships and communication.
I am passionate about developing my expertise within mental health law and contributing to the work of CJCH’s specialist team, helping to ensure that individuals receive appropriate legal support and that their rights, voices and interests remain central throughout the process.
