Smart TMS : St Albans

Erica’s deep-rooted interest in the human mind and behaviour sparked at a young age, which inspired her studies of psychology at A-Level. Upon a desire to learn more at a deeper level, Erica went on to complete her Psychology BSc (Hons) at the University of Hertfordshire where she fell in love with Clinical Psychology. She then pursued this interest by completing her MSc in Research in Clinical Psychology / MSc Clinical Psychology Practice at the University of Hertfordshire. In her dissertations, she explored the impact of infidelity on mental health, along with exploring chronic fatigue in individuals with Lipodystrophy. Alongside her postgraduate studies, Erica volunteered for an Early Intervention in Psychosis team where she conducted research in her free time.

Upon completion of her postgraduate studies, Erica began working with young children with special educational needs at Hertford St Andrews primary school. This hands-on experience has given Erica the confidence to enter the mental health field and provide compassionate and non-judgemental care.

In her free time, Erica can be found in the gym lifting heavy weights in preparation for powerlifting competitions. To relax, she enjoys being cosy while reading a book, or building a Lego set!
