I carry out public mental health research that explores how best to improve everyone’s mental health, through effective and accessible support and services. I have recently focused on improving support for those who have been affected by suicide. I’ve also worked to improve psychological and psycho-social support in cancer care. I am interested in research that empowers people through the use of digital technologies and co-design.
