Personal profile
Particulars
I achieved my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Queen’s University Belfast in 2012 and obtained my PhD in Clinical Health Psychology from QUB in 2018. My PhD focused on the development and evaluation of a psychological intervention to improve emotional wellbeing in individuals with Type 2 diabetes and their partners. In July 2018 I joined the School of Psychology at QUB as a Health Psychology Lecturer and since then have continued to contribute to the flourishing body of Clinical Health Psychology research within the School.
Research Interests
Part of my role involves teaching on the topic of Health and Clinical Health Psychology and supervising research students. I also engage in a range of research projects focusing on the psychological, social, and environmental factors that influence adjustment to chronic health conditions such as diabetes and stroke. I am keen to explore new and more creative ways to facilitate emotional support in individuals living with chronic health conditions, to develop resources that are ultimately more accessible and acceptable to both service users and facilitators. Current research projects include exploring the influence of social media on mental health among young people living with Type 1 diabetes and developing emotional support for families affected by diabetes. Additional research interests include Health Behaviour Change and I am involved in research that applies models of behaviour change to public health issues such as COVID-19, and environmental concerns such as plastic waste and recycling. I have a particular interest in the use of comics and illustrations as health or ecological communication/information tools and have lead projects to co-design such comics, which I aim to evaluate in future studies.
