Personal profile

Research interests

I am principle lecturer in Health Psychology at Cardiff Metropolitan University, a chartered Psychologist with the BPS (CPsychol) and a Health Psychologist (HCPC).  I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academic (SFHEA). 

My research primarily focuses on using health psychology theory and knowledge to explore underserved populations.  I am particuarly interested in the impact of living with stigmatised chronic illness. My PhD background is in eating behaviours therefore I am also interested in understanding the psychsoocial influences on eating behaviours and obesity.
