Biography
I am a Research Fellow on the PRIORITY Trial led by Dr Chrissie Jones, which is exploring how novel psychological workshops delivered to parents of children with Type 1 Diabetes could prevent disordered eating. I also work in an adult mental health service in the NHS as a Clinical Psychologist. My research interests include digital mental health, CBT, creative interventions, and supporting people with severe and enduring mental health needs. I am a committee member of the Digital Healthcare Subcommittee of the Division of Clinical Psychology.
