Biography
I am primarily interested in investigating the application of mindfulness, acceptance, and values-based psychological interventions for mental health difficulties. This includes the full spectrum of mild non-clinical experiences to severe and enduring mental health difficulties. I have a specific interest in understanding and treating symptoms of psychosis. I also have a special interest in examining the use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for enduring conditions. Finally, I am interested in understanding how, when and why psychological interventions are beneficial.
