Personal profile
Research interests (short)
I am a Senior Lecturer based in the Department of Psychology and the Trauma-informed Care Lead at the Psychological Interventions for Outpatients with Psychosis (PICuP) Clinic. My research investigates the role of psychological processes in post traumatic stress in psychosis. I am interested in the development, testing and implementation of trauma-informed practice and trauma-focused CBT for psychosis. I also collaborate with designers and technologists on digital projects to enhance the usability and outcomes of psychological ways of managing distress and improving quality of life in people with psychosis.
