My research is concerned with preventing and treating common mental health problems and improving social outcomes for underserved children, young people (up to age 25) and their families. I work on: (i) understanding contextual influences on mental health and associated inequalities in early life; (ii) co-designing psychosocial interventions and other practice innovations with disadvantaged and seldom-heard groups; (iii) investigating outcomes and implementation processes in pragmatic trials and service evaluations; and (iv) integrating data to understand how, why and for whom interventions are (and are not) effective.
I collaborate with partners in the UK and internationally to generate and translate evidence in diverse settings beyond traditional clinics. This includes projects in schools, colleges, children's centres, youth services, and community spaces such as barbershops. Scalability is addressed through brief intervention formats, transdiagnostic practice elements, low-cost digital platforms, and task-sharing models of care involving community volunteers, peers and paraprofessionals.
