About me

Shaping psychologically-informed and inclusive healthcare for people with long term conditions and their supporters though research, clinical applications of health psychology, teaching and supervision.
Area of expertise
I am passionate about co-production with patients and healthcare teams; engaging people to be involved at all stages of research and innovation that matters to them. I carry out qualitative research to place patients' lived experience and wellbeing at the centre of their care.
My research aims to: support self-management and reduce stigma associated with chronic health conditions (e.g. fatigue and healthy weight); reduce health inequalities (e.g. increase representation in research or access to diabetes supportive care) and address the impacts of rare and hard to diagnose and treat conditions, including autoimmune and inflammatory conditions (e.g. lupus, fibromyalgia and Hashimoto's disease).
I am developing expertise in complex intervention design and evalation, and mixed methods feasibility studies for digital health during my Wallscourt-funded Fellowship.
I have lectured at UWE since 2019 across psychology, public health and environmental science in the areas of health psychology, research methods, evaluation and behaviour change. I am a postgraduate thesis supervisor and welcome contact from interested doctoral and PhD students.
