Research that bridges science and society

My research examines how insights from health psychology and behavioural science can inform policy, practice, and service design across health and social care.


I work on a range of topics, including stigma, experiences of illness, domestic abuse, and public health interventions. Across these areas, I am particularly interested in how evidence is interpreted, adapted, and used beyond academic settings.


I am motivated by work that contributes to practical change, while recognising the complexity of health systems and the contexts in which people live and seek support.
