Research interests: My research interests include neurodiversity and workplace inclusion, post-diagnostic support for autistic adults, healthcare accessibility for neurodivergent and learning disability populations, health and risk psychology, and psychoeducational interventions for children with chronic health conditions. I am also interested in applying behaviour change theories to public health and safety, alongside methodologies such as mixed-methods evaluation, feasibility and clinical randomised controlled trials, and participatory co-design.
