Profile

I am a registered Health Psychologist and Psychotherapist and run a small private practice alongside my academic post. My main research focus is on the application of behavioural science to health and educational policy and practice. I have designed and delivered behaviour change interventions in a range of applied settings and with a range of participant groups. I am always keen to forge relationships with cross-disciplinary academics, educators, health practitioners and voluntary/NHS services, to strengthen the links between research and practice.

I have lately been researching the behavioural response of UK citizens to the COVID-19 outbreak, as the lead Health Psychologist for the COVID-19 Psychological Research Consortium study (COVID-19 PRCS), which is mapping changes in behaviour and mental health over time. I am particularly interested in researching the experience of groups that have been differentially impacted by the pandemic, in particular young people and those with chronic health conditions such as obesity. My research also focuses on social and public health issues including health inequalities, domestic violence and mental health.

Qualifications

PG Diploma Integrative Psychotherapy (University of Derby)
Certificate in Teaching and Learning (PGCertHE, University of Sheffield)
PhD Health Psychology (University of Sheffield)
MSc Health Psychology (University College London)
BSc (Hons) Psychology (University of Liverpool)

Research interests: I am an experienced academic researcher in the field of behavioural science and mental health with interests in a range of quantitative and qualitative research methods. My work explores self-regulatory processes involved in behaviour change, using theoretical models such as the COM-B model of behaviour change, Control Theory and the Prototype Willingness Model. My current research interests are focused on co-designing evidence-based interventions to improve mental health and well being in young people that can be delivered in schools. As a practicing Psychotherapist, I am interested in the interactions between mental and physical health: my current work in the field of obesity explores how chronic illness impacts upon anxiety and depression.
