I graduated from my first degree in psychology at the University of Manchester in 2007, and graduated from my PhD in clinical psychology at the University of Manchester in 2010. I am currently studying for my doctorate in clinical psychology (ClinPsyD) at the University of Birmingham.

My current research interests centre on the identification of preventative and resilience factors in relation to the development of psychological difficulties. To date, my research has mainly concerned investigating and testing those psychological factors which may confer resilience against the development of suicidality, particularly amongst individuals with psychosis-spectrum disorders.
