My research is primarily focused on body image and eating disorders. In particular body perception in people with eating disorders and its relationship with clinical features of the disorder.
I obtained my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the Australian National University. My PhD investigated body perception in people with an eating disorder and people recovered from an eating disorder (Supervisors: Associate Professor Elizabeth Rieger & Professor Janet Treasure). After completing my clinical psychology training I spent the final two years of my PhD candidature on a cross-institutional exchange completing my research in Professor Janet Treasure's eating disorders research team.
Following my PhD, I remained at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London first working as a researcher in the area of body dysmorphic disorder followed by working as a clinical psychologist/researcher evaluating computerised CBT for young people with depression.
I commenced my academic role in the Department of Psychology at Royal Holloway University of London in 2013 and am a teaching-focused lecturer.
