Institution: University of Manchester, England.
Supervisory team: Dr Daniel Pratt, Professor Gillian Haddock.
Position: Clinical Psychologist in Training.
Current research: I am currently running a project which seeks to understand how we conceptualise recovery from suicidal thoughts and behaviours as well as what factors are important in supporting recovery. The project is looking to hear from people with lived experience of suicidal thoughts and behaviours.
Research interests:
- Conceptualisations of ‘recovery’
- Psychological distress in those experiencing psychosis
- Complex trauma (interested but not experienced!)
