Accepting PhD Students
I joined the School of Health in Social Sciences in 2014 and I am currently a Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology. I am an HCPC Registered Clinical Psychologist, Chartered Psychologist, Associate Fellow of the British and an Honorary Consultant Clinical Psychologist in Adult Mental Health with NHS Grampian.
Within the University of Edinburgh I am a member of Edinburgh Neuroscience, Edinburgh Mental Health and the Global Mental Health Research Network.
My research focuses on how risk and resilience can infrom early identification and prevention in mental health. Primarily, my work focuses on intergenerational determinants of mental health, specifically how parental adversity and mental health impact on the next generation's mental health, cognitive, emotional, and developmental outcomes.
I take a lifespan approach to mental health, but focused particularly on the "First 1000 days" from conception through the perinatal period and into infancy. This has the potential to lead to preventative or early intervention paradigms for mental health and wellbeing. In doing so, my research focuses on global health priorities and sustainable development goals, given the growing burden of mental disorder across the world.
I work with a broad range of mental health conditions from common presentations such as depression and anxiety through to complex difficulties such as personality disorder and psychosis.
I use different methods including observational cohort studies, linkage of routine and 'big' data, treatment studies and data synthesis and have worked with cohorts in Scotland/UK, Denmark, Chile and with health providers, UNICEF and NGOs such as Mellow Parenting.
From a clinical perspective, my work is also concerned with how we can better integrate psychological approaches to mental health into health and social care. This spans a broad range of approaches from infant mental health (Mellow Parenting), Digital Mental Health (Togetherall) and adult personality disorder (Metacognitive Interpersonal Therapy).
Alongside collaborations within University of Edinburgh I have international external collaborations with University of Finland (Marius Lahti-Pulkkinnen), University of Copenhagen (Katrine Røhder),the Centre for Metacognitive Therapy, Rome (Dr Giancarlo Dimaggio), and Pontifica Unversidad Catolica de Chile.
Within Scotland I have collaborations with University of Glasgow and University of Aberdeen in Scotland. I have a number of NHS collaborations particularly in NHS Lothian and NHS Grampian; and with the Mellow Parenting NGO.
My work has been funded by the MRC, Wellcome Trust, CSO, NIHR, Millar McKenzie Trust and internal funding from the University of Edinburgh.
I am the current Director of Research for the School of Health in Social Science. Previously, I have also had academic citizenship roles as School Postgraduate Research Director, and Quality Assurance and Enhancement Director.
Within Clinical Psychology I have been the Director for the MSc Applied Psychology of Children and Young People and the Research Director for the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I organise the course on Interdisciplinary Approaches to Global Mental Health for the MSc Global Mental Health and Society and contribute to teaching on the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.
