I am a Lecturer in Health and Exercise Psychology and Chartered Psychologist based at the Department for Health at the University of Bath. My broad research interests include physical activity, mental health,  behaviour change and digital health. 

More specifically I am interested in: a) understanding the biopsychosocial factors linking physical activity and mental health; b) designing and evaluating behavioural interventions to increase physical activity and improve mental health; c) assessing intervention fidelity (the extent to which behavioural interventions are delivered as intended). 

I have published in leading peer-reviewed journals and presented my work at national and international academic conferences. I have also successfully attracted more than £850k of external funding as lead and co-applicant from NIHR, ESRC and the Welcome Trust.

I am on the editorial board for Mental Health and Physical Activity and have reviewed widely for national and international journals. 

I teach across a range of subject areas including exercise and health psychology, physical activity and mental health, behaviour change and qualitative and quantitative research methods.
