Research Interests
My undergraduate research project explored the relationship between level of alcohol use and perceptual bias to alcohol-related stimuli. My MSc dissertation focused on the relationship between depression and religiosity. I have a wide interest in all areas of psychological research, particularly cognitive behavioural and mindfulness interventions for common mental health problems in adult populations.
