Applying psychological science to enhance operational effectiveness and support personnel in high-stakes environments.
Military environments present unique psychological challenges that offer profound insights into human resilience and performance under pressure and longer-term career progression as leaders who inspire.
As the specialist for psychological resilience and stress recovery at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst for 10 years, I developed psychological principles, and provided coaching that supported operational effectiveness, leadership strategies and personnel wellbeing for all levels of officers in training, specialists and elite forces.
My research interests in this field include the integration of trauma-informed approaches that acknowledge the full spectrum of military service impacts.
Psychological aspects of deployment preparation.
Psychology of resilient and adaptable military leadership.
Cognitive processes under pressure and uncertainty.
Understanding operational stress factors and prevention.
Psychological safety and unit cohesion dynamics.
Transition challenges and psychological wellbeing.
