The focus of my research is the psychology and psychological treatment of severe mental health problems with a particular focus on bipolar disorder and related conditions. In conducting this research I work extensively with individuals with lived experience of mental health issues to ensure that the research focusses on areas of importance to service users. Work to date has led to the development of a series new interventions to help people living with bipolar ranging from web-based self management support to intensive face-to-face psychological therapy to enhance personal recovery.
