Associate Lecturer in Psychology
I am interested in how people make sense of their life experiences. My research is in patients’ experiences, including the role of illness perceptions, self-regulation and memory in relation to the effects on physiological and behavioural processes in health. This interest includes the use of virtual learning environments and ehealth within the NHS, health policy and media sector. I have experience as a media psychologist in advertising. I am also interested in child development, attachment, trauma processing and social relationships.
