Overview

I am a Senior Lecturer in Social Science and Health based at DECIPHer (Centre for the Development and Evaluation of Complex Public Health Interventions), a UKCRC Public Health Research Centre of Excellence. I am also an affiliated Senior Lecturer at CASCADE (Children's Social Care Research and Development Centre). The substantive focus of my research is the improvement of the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people, in addition to the prevention of self-harm and suicide.
