PhD Student

Biography

I joined KCL as a masters student in 2020, on the Mental Health Studies MSc. I trained and worked as a Mental Health Nurse by background, but also have a BSc in Psychology.

In 2021, I have started a PhD in the Social Epidemiology Research Group as part of the Health Service and Population Research Department at IoPPN. My PhD is funded by LISS DTP, and I am supervised by Dr Vanessa Lawrence and Dr Claire Henderson.

My current project will be working with the Recovery College to explore ways that carers of those with mental health problems can be involved and supported.

Social Epidemiology Research Group

The Social Epidemiology Research Group primarily focuses on how social contexts, interactions and experiences shape the occurrence, outcome, and management of mental health problems. Our goal is to provide evidence on the relationships between all aspects of society and mental health problems that can inform the development of interventions, mental health services, public health programmes, and social policies in order to prevent the onset and improve outcomes of mental health problems.
