I joined LSBU in 2014, where I am Senior Lecturer in Psychology in the School of Applied Sciences, and Employability Lead for the Division of Psychology. Prior to this, I was Health Psychology Specialist at Atlantis Healthcare, where I developed multi-channel patient support programmes to aid self-management of chronic illness, and Research Associate at University College London in the Health Behaviour Research Centre.
As a Chartered Psychologist and Associate Fellow of the Division of Health Psychology, I am passionate about understanding health behaviours and developing interventions that promote and support behaviour change. I am interested in how both social and individual processes influence individuals’ behaviour and in particular the role of identity in behavioural transitions.
Much of my research focus and applied practice has been in the field of addiction and takes an exploratory approach. This work includes application of experiential methods via in-depth qualitative work, and quantitative methods including the analysis of national household datasets, surveys and systematic reviews. This has afforded the acquisition of advanced skills in health service research methods, quantitative and qualitative analysis, and smoking cessation intervention delivery and training. My work in the field of smoking cessation demonstrated the value of qualitative methods to advance knowledge of cigarette addiction and transition processes. I have international recognition for my work, including invitations to deliver keynote presentations at international conferences and to collaborate on research that includes qualitative approaches.
I am currently working on two nationally funded projects to evaluate:
1) Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) from the perspectives and experiences of MHFA end users in the workplace
2) The development of a behaviour change unit and its contribution to local government
