Research interests:
- Anxiety and depression
- NHS Talking Therapies
- Psychological treatment outcomes
- Longitudinal data
- Prediction modelling
My primary research interest lies in understanding mental health treatment outcomes for patients with anxiety and depressive disorders. My PhD project is focused on developing prediction models that identify individuals at risk of poor prognostic outcomes following psychological treatment using data collected by the NHS Talking Therapies service (previously known as IAPT). I am supervised by Prof Thalia Eley and Dr Ewan Carr.
