Rwy'n seicolegydd siartredig (CPsychol) ac ymchwilydd ym maes seicodermatoleg. Mae fy ngwaith wedi canolbwyntio ar effaith seicolegol cyflyrau croen plant ar deuluoedd. Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n gweithio ar brosiect a ariennir gan DEBRA UK, dan arweiniad yr Athro Andrew Thompson a Dr Faith Martin, gan ddatblygu pecyn cymorth hunangymorth i gefnogi lles rhieni plant ag Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).

Ymchwil
Mae fy niddordebau ymchwil yn cynnwys gwahaniaeth gweladwy ac effaith seicolegol byw gyda chyflwr croen (e.e. psoriasis, ecsema, acne, vitiligo, ichthyosis, epidermolysis bullosa ac ati). Rwy'n angerddol am godi ymwybyddiaeth o'r angen am gymorth seicolegol mewn gofal dermatolegol arferol ledled y DU, gan gynnwys ymchwilio i ddefnyddio ymyriadau sy'n seiliedig ar ymwybyddiaeth ofalgar i gefnogi lles teuluoedd y mae cyflyrau croen prin yn effeithio arnynt.
Rwyf wedi cyhoeddi sawl astudiaeth empirig, gan gynnwys fy nhraethawd hir israddedig: stigma, pryder ymddangosiad cymdeithasol ac ymdopi mewn dynion a menywod â chyflyrau croen, a thraethawd hir fy meistr: profiadau dicter ar ddechrau a dilyniant soriasis.
Rwyf hefyd wedi cyhoeddi fy holl ymchwil doethurol o'm traethawd ymchwil, gan gynnwys: (1) adolygiad systematig o ymyriadau seiliedig ar ymwybyddiaeth ofalgar ar gyfer plant, pobl ifanc a'u rhieni, (2) astudiaeth ansoddol sy'n ymchwilio i brofiad rhiant a phlentyn o gyflyrau'r croen: perthnasedd ar gyfer darparu ymyriadau seiliedig ar ymwybyddiaeth ofalgar (fideo awdur yma), ( 3) astudiaeth ansoddol sy'n ymchwilio i farn gweithwyr gofal iechyd proffesiynol ar gymorth seicogymdeithasol i blant a theuluoedd y mae cyflyrau'r croen yn effeithio arnynt yn y DU, a (4) ymwybyddiaeth ofalgar 'Byw yn y Presennol' i rieni plant â chyflyrau croen: cyfres achos grŵp sengl.
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n gweithio ar brosiect a ariennir gan DEBRA UK, dan arweiniad yr Athro Andrew Thompson a Dr Faith Martin, gan ddatblygu pecyn cymorth hunangymorth i gefnogi lles seicolegol rhieni plant ag Epidermolysis Bullosa. Mae mwy o wybodaeth am y prosiect ar gael ar wefan DEBRA UK, yma. Yn ddiweddar rydym hefyd wedi ysgrifennu blog ymchwilwyr am ein gwaith, sydd i'w weld yma.
