About
I am a chartered psychologist with an interest in behaviour change, mental health and developmental disorders. I joined Ï㽶ÊÓƵ in 2022 to work on the NIHR funded STAMINA programme. Prior to this I worked at the University of Sheffield from 2005 working in the department of psychology for three years on projects investigating developmental disorders, then ScHARR from 2008 where I was involved in a range of projects, examining the effectiveness and acceptability of psychological interventions, including those for postnatal depression, art therapy for non-psychotic disorders, and a range of behavioural interventions. Prior to joining Sheffield University, I completed a PhD in cognitive developmental psychology at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ.
