Research Associate, Division of Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences
Overview
My research focuses on the development and evaluation of psychological interventions for trauma related disorders. Working within the Intervention Development workstream of the National Centre for Mental Health (NCMH) I have extensive experience of working alongside experts by lived experience to develop novel interventions using mixed method approaches. My PhD involved developing and pilot testing Spring a novel guided internet-based programme for PTSD which is now being implemented in the NHS. I am currently working on the development of similar interventions for Prolonged Grief Disorder, Complex PTSD and a bespoke version of Spring for military veterans. I have conducted several Cochrane reviews and worked for the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to produce Clinical Practice guidelines. I was a member of the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (ISTSS) treatment guidelines committee, taking a lead in synthesising the evidence for psychological therapies. I also have an interest in sleep disturbance related to PTSD, and PTSD as a comorbidity of other disorders.
