Academic Background
I completed my BA in Psychology at Swansea University and my PhD at the University of Reading. My PhD research aimed to improve understanding of the barriers families face in seeking and accessing support for anxiety disorders in children. In 2019 I moved to the University of Oxford to work as a postdoctoral researcher in the Departments of Experimental Psychology and Psychiatry, and was awarded a Prudence Trust Fellowship in January 2024.
Research Interests
My research focuses on the development, evaluation, and implementation of novel approaches to identify and support children with common mental health problems.
I apply a range of research methods in my work, including systematic reviews, randomised controlled trials, surveys, measurement development, qualitative and co-production approaches.
