Passionate about addressing challenges faced by individuals with vision impairment, my focus in clinical psychology centres on combating ableist stigma and changing perceptions. This is why my work centres on participatory and co‑produced approaches that ensure disabled people shape the research, the tools, and the systems intended for them. I bring an interdisciplinary background that spans clinical psychology, disability studies, mental health, sensory experience, and qualitative methodology.

I am currently undertaking an NIHR DSE Fellowship at the University of Bath, with cross‑disciplinary placements in Computer Science at the University of Bristol and in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King’s College London. My fellowship aims to advance accessibility in the context of vision impairment and depression, combining methodological innovation with meaningful community partnerships to challenge embedded ableism.

After several years of teaching at the University of Birmingham (Business School, School of Education) and the University College London (Institute of Education), delivering modules on disability in the workplace, vision impairment, marketing and communication, qualitative research methods, and personal and professional development.

With almost two decades of experience in disability support and psychology in Greece, including roles in private practice, public special settings, and leadership as director of the Special Pre-Primary School for the Blind in Athens, my journey expanded to international contributions as a clinical psychologist at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, where I worked within childhood glaucoma and vision impairment services as part of a multidisciplinary clinical team. I have also collaborated with numerous universities, including Oxford, East London, Birmingham, Bath, Bristol, and King’s College London.
