Teaching
Chantal integrates her real-life working practices directly into her teaching, bringing real-world challenges into both UG and PG learning environments.
She leads the Level 6 BSc Psychology and Counselling option module Sexology and co-leads the option module Occupational and Work Psychology for the BSc Psychology degree pathway. She also delivers a specialist workshop on sex and relationship therapy for the MSc in Psychology and PG Diploma cohort.
In her role as Employability Co-ordinator, she ensures that transferable employability skills are meaningfully embedded across degree programs, supporting students in developing the professional capabilities needed for their future careers. This role is complimented by the Level 5 core module Cultivating employability skills for carer success. Here, students gain the opportunity to volunteer within their discipline, allowing them to experience what it may be like to work in that specific area.
