About
I am a chartered psychologist with an interest in behaviour change, mental health and developmental disorders. I joined Sheffield Hallam University in 2022 to work on the NIHR funded STAMINA programme. Prior to this I worked at the University of Sheffield from 2005 working in the department of psychology for three years on projects investigating developmental disorders, then ScHARR from 2008 where I was involved in a range of projects, examining the effectiveness and acceptability of psychological interventions, including those for postnatal depression, art therapy for non-psychotic disorders, and a range of behavioural interventions. Prior to joining Sheffield University, I completed a PhD in cognitive developmental psychology at Sheffield Hallam University.
Research
Supported exercise Training for Men with prostate cancer on Androgen deprivation therapy - the STAMINA programme - A randomised controlled trial of the clinical and cost effectiveness of the STAMINA lifestyle
intervention (SLI) compared with Optimised Usual Care (OUC) and a parallel process evaluation exploring
implementation of the STAMINA lifestyle intervention (SLI) compared with Optimised Usual Care (OUC).
