Personal profile
Academic Background
I am a clinical psychologist and researcher, specialising in stroke, neuropsychology, and post-COVID syndrome. I have particular interests in the use of quantitative methodologies in understanding the phenomenology and theoretical underpinnings of mood disorders after brain injury.
I am also interested in psychometric development, particularly in the creation and validation of mood and cognitive screening tools that are accessible for people with acquired cognitive and language impairments.
I am open to research collaboration and supervision opportunities. Please do get in touch if you are interested in this work.
