Her 2012 doctoral thesis on South Asian men's psychiatric admission experiences established foundational work in cultural narrative analysis within clinical psychology, bridging clinical practice with community mental health equity research.

Clinical leadership spans community teams (CMHTs, Early Intervention in Psychosis, Mental Health Integrated Network Teams) and inpatient services for adults with mental health conditions, learning disabilities, and personality disorders, with expertise in team training and therapeutic program design.
