Academic  Work

As a researcher I have won several grants such as the Early Career Researcher Award by NIHR Maudsley BRC and a UKRI VAMHN grant amongst other, to further my research work in examining interventions and outcomes in mental health service users. I am also a Lecturer in Organisational Psychiatry and Psychology and teach and supervise MSc students.

​

Below is some of the research I have published to date. You can also see here for more publications.
