About me
My PhD investigated the use of Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM) in risk factors for eating disorder psychopathology and the feasibility of administering these interventions beyond a laboratory setting.
My research interests extend beyond CBM to other interventions that seek to improve people’s body image and in turn reduce their risk for developing an eating disorder. As a research practitioner, I am responsible for developing and evaluating interventions, as well as ensuring that individuals and groups are strictly exposed to evidence-based approaches and interventions. I am a Research Fellow based at the Centre for Appearance Research. I am currently working across two projects in partnership with Dove, Cartoon Network and Playmob, which are assessing the efficacy of low dose interventions aimed at improving children’s body image and willingness to engage in body image activism.
