My work in psychology bridges the gap between research and clinical practice developing insights into different areas of the human experience. As a doctoral researcher, I am interested in clinical neuroscience and cognitive behavioural therapy. Using a variety of research methods, my research places a strong emphasis on the influence of implicit emotion regulation, automatic cognitions, and habits, and how these processes greatly affect our mood and behaviour. I explore advanced technologies such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and virtual reality (VR) and analyse data using experimental designs and meta-analytical approaches. This develops a comprehensive view of the human condition. To date, I have won various awards for my research. As part of my outreach, I regularly present my research findings at conferences, speak about various psychology-related topics, run cognitive behavioural therapy workshops, and have written materials for popular publications such as national newspapers.
​
I am a cognitive behavioural therapist (accredited psychotherapist) and elected Fellow of the Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists (ACCPH) independent professional body. I have specialist (SDS Accredited) British Psychological Society approved training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I have extensive experience in providing CBT to individuals with depressive and anxiety-type disorders and I understand the impact these conditions can have on daily life. I personally work with each client individually and tailor a personalised CBT programme that suits their unique needs.
I strive to make a meaningful difference in people's lives.

My Research
Research projects I lead
My research encompasses a wide range of topics such as clinical psychology, clinical neuroscience, cognitive behaviour therapy, implicit emotion processing and consciousness. I am particularly interested in cognitive behavioural therapy and how implicit emotion processes are implicated in the onset and maintenance of psychopathology. My research aims to explore such processes with focus on the development of new therapeutic techniques in clinical practice. I delve deeply into these domains, and constantly push the boundaries of knowledge through innovative research techniques. I explore advanced technologies such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and virtual reality (VR) to analyse brain function and cognitive processes, to deepen our understanding of how the brain works and how behaviour is related to the brain.

Virtual Reality & Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Neuroimaging Data Analysis
I meta-analyse MRI data to gain insights into the neurological underpinnings of emotion. My expertise in this area has led to discoveries of how different areas of the brain are involved in the experience and regulation of emotion. These insights have the potential to be used in a variety of settings from research to clinical therapies, with the potential to bring about better understanding of diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions.
