Early intervention in depression and anxiety. Improving access to evidence-based treatments; One-day CBT workshops.
Research interests
As only 30% of people with mental health problems seek help, it is very important to research how we can offer help to those in the community who have mental health problems but who do not seek help.
I have developed and evaluated day-long CBT workshops for the general public which have proven effective in a number of RCTs. The adult model of day-long workshops has been adapted for adolescents as well as for women for post-natal depression.
I am currently evaluating a large clinical trial of day-long workshops for 900 16-18 year olds in 60 schools.
Within these community interventions, I am very interested in health inequalities and developing interventions to attract under-represented groups into the workshops and mental health interventions generally. These groups include ethnic minority groups as well as males.
I am also very interested in co-production and have been working with Citizens UK and evaluating a co-produced intervention for mothers.
