I'm a clinical psychologist and researcher, interested in:- IADC Therapy for grief
- Preventive psychology / the prevention of anxiety, depression & eating disorders- Wellbeing & resilience (especially in young people)- Transdiagnostic theory

I have two main areas of research interest:

- IADC Therapy and after-death communications (I am currently conducting a wait-list controlled trial of this fascinating brief therapy for grief. Recruitment for this study is now closed as all places have been filled. For more information visit www.healinggriefwithiadc.com/research)

- Preventive psychology (specifically, the prevention of anxiety, depression, and eating disorders through school-based and corporate wellbeing interventions including working directly with school students, parents, and teachers).
