Personal profile
Overview
I am a research associate in the Division of Psychology and Mental Health, funded by the NIHR Greater Manchester Patient Safety Translational Research Centre.
My work aims to adapt interventions to prevent self-harm among young people who are under the care of CAMHS services.
My PhD explored healthcare professionals’ experiences encountering patients at risk of self-harm, to inform the development of an intervention to increase adherence to the NICE guidelines for self-harm prevention.
Research interests:
- Suicide and self-harm
- Self-harm interventions
- Role of healthcare professionals in suicide prevention
- Long-term conditions
Teaching
I have demonstrated on the first and second year Psychology Research Methods & Statistics units, and have run seminars as part of the Clinical Psychology, Health Psychology, and Group Dynamics Modules.
