Personal profile
Research interests
I am a Research Assistant working as part of The Addiction and Mental Health Group (AIM). I'm working on the ESCAPE Trial, a randomised controlled feasibility trial testing a bespoke smoking cessation intervention for people with depression/anxiety in mental health settings.
My research interests focus on clinical psychology, addiction and health behaviours. I am specifically interested in the relationship between smoking and mental health and the effectiveness of tobacco health warnings.
