About Jo Birkett
Hi, I’m Jo! I’m a lecturer in psychology at the University of Westminster and a qualified clinical psychologist. I’m interested in how community-based interventions can increase wellbeing, particularly in groups who might not frequently access clinic-based services. I’ve recently been involved in developing and researching an online peer support tool called “Helpers” to help people during the pandemic. My other passion is teaching and I enjoy leading a number of modules for second and third year psychology students. My three-legged cat Roberto is the apple of my eye, and I tell everyone, at every opportunity, how lovely he is.
