Research Experience

After graduating from York University in 2000, I worked as a Research Associate at the University of East Anglia, investigating OCD in young people. I have remained actively involved in research since qualifying as a Clinical Psychologist and have been a therapist on trials investigating OCD and depression in young people. I have also supervised several small scale research projects for Trainee Clinical Psychologists as well as supervising Doctoral theses. I have been involved in writing several book chapters based on my clinical and research experience and have also presented research findings at the national BABCP conference. A list of publications can be seen below.
