I completed my BSc. (Hons) and Ph.D in Psychology at Bangor University, Wales. My research focus was in resilience and behavioural and emotional difficulties in children with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. Since starting my BSc. I have worked in various charitable organisations supporting children and adults with neurodevelopmental conditions, mental health conditions, and physical disabilities. Upon completing my Ph.D. I became a clinical and research lead in industry, leading the clinical development of telehealth based therapies and mobile APPs. I developed a telehealth resilience-building intervention for adults with multiple sclerosis and their support partners. In addition, I have led the clinical development of a sleep mobile application (winner of the Medtech Innovate award 2019) to treat insomnia in veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, and major depressive disorder. At the University of Pennsylvania, I completed training in advanced cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia. Currently, I am the co-director of the Sleep Education and Research Lab leading two research projects focusing on paediatric and family sleep in neurodevelopmental conditions, and sleep and mental health in autistic adults. I am a British Psychological Society chartered psychologist and consult for organisations on resilience, mental health, and sleep.
