Biography

I joined the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King’s in 2016 after completing a Universitas 21 Joint PhD (Universities of Auckland and Glasgow) evaluating low-intensity parenting interventions. I currently work on a government-funded research programme that aims to improve mental health in autistic individuals. I am involved in conducting a trial of new interventions for parents to support their autistic children’s behaviour and development. For further details, please see: www.iamhealthkcl.net.
