My mission is to secure justice for victim-survivors of domestic abuse through policy research, development, analysis and influencing.
I single-handedly led policy and parliamentary work at Refuge between 2006-11, worked as a Research Fellow in the Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit (CWASU) at London Metropolitan University for five years (2013-2018) and founded the charity, Surviving Economic Abuse which I led as CEO from January 2017 to May 2024. You can read about my achievements in securing economic justice for victim-survivors here. They include pioneering practice, policy and legislative responses.
In 2020, I was awarded an OBE in the Queen’s birthday honours for services to victims of domestic and economic abuse.
I am an Emeritus Research Fellow in the Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit (CWASU) at London Metropolitan University. My bio outlines the breath of research I have undertaken around domestic abuse, with a focus on understanding coercive control through the use of economic resources.

I am an Emeritus Research Fellow in the Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit (CWASU) at London Metropolitan University. My bio outlines the breath of research I have undertaken around domestic abuse, with a focus on understanding coercive control through the use of economic resources.
In 2008 I conducted the first piece of research on economic abuse in the UK. This led to the development of the Economic Abuse Wheel which is used widely in practice and across the globe.
I have since conducted extensive research both individually and with other experts, looking at economic abuse in the UK and internationally. This includes a number of reports, journal articles and book chapters, as well as a book entitled Understanding and Responding to Economic Abuse.

I also provide technical advice on economic abuse. I am an expert advisor to the International Finance Corporation (IFC) covering Asia and the Pacific. I worked with FinEquity to define a learning agenda on financial abuse in Latin America and Africa.
I never set out to be a charity CEO and have described myself as a ‘reluctant’ leader in a previous interview.

I never set out to be a charity CEO and have described myself as a ‘reluctant’ leader in a previous interview. I was sponsored by Telos Leadership Institute to undertake the Emerging Strategic Leaders Programme at Windsor Leadership. I later won the Third Sector Award for Rising Chief Executive in 2020 and the Charity Times Awards ‘Rising Leader of the Year‘ in 2021 so must have been doing ok!
I’m happy to share my insight about any aspect of forming or leading a charity so please do get in touch if a chat would be helpful.
